Established in 1992, we are registered in Neu-Ulm (D) as a non-profit making trade association, representing the manufacturers and suppliers of sealing devices and materials. The Members of the ESA represent a strong majority of the sealing industry in Europe.
Our focus is on safety, energy efficiency and environmental protection. We are committed to working towards:
We are a democratic, market-led organisation and all decisions and policies are agreed upon through direct voting by our membership. It is our clear intention to maintain high standards in all our operations and to encourage all Members to be so bound.

Why are we here?
Much of today's industry is heavily reliant on machinery and delivery systems which can function safely at extremes of pressure and temperature, often associated with high speed and vibration. Sealing devices and materials - which perform a crucial role in the safe containment of fluids - are employed in a wide cross-section of business, including:
mineral extraction industry
chemical and petrochemical industries
power generation and supply industries
automotive industries
aerospace industries
marine industries
potable and waste water industries
valve, pump and fluid hydraulics industries
Given the critical importance of sealing to safety, performance and economic growth throughout Europe, we feel that the industry is best represented by a strong voice that is led by its Members.
