HTMS High Tech Metal Seals

Who we are

High Tech Metal Seals (HTMS) is a privately owned company, founded in 1999 by a group of sealing specialists with a combined experience of more than 100 years.

We design and manufacture elastic or resilient metal seals at our Belgian manufacturing plant in Mechelen. Our metal seals are unparalleled in terms of size, shape and performance across a broad spectrum of sealing applications.

HTMS' resilient metal seals are used in a wide variety of applications where normal seals cannot cope with extremes of temperature, pressure, medium or combinations thereof.

HTMS specialises in metallic seals, serving all markets including aerospace, nuclear, oil & gas (both subsea and topside), automotive, industrial, medical, ...

We are dedicated to produce resilient metal seals under the most stringent quality procedures. The company is ISO 9001, AS 9100 and ISO 14001 certified.
