The company applies more than 150 years of engineering and materials expertise to its strategy of researching, developing and introducing innovative product and process solutions.

Founded on its development of the Simmerring® radial shaft seal in 1929, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has continuously expanded its industrial seals and component portfolio to include a range of technology solutions.

These address critical issues like performance, power, friction, emissions and material compatibility. In addition to offering a broad range of high-quality, engineered sealing solutions, the company also works collaboratively with customers on the design and validation of custom sealing systems. In this interview, Jetinder Kumar Nath, Senior General Manager (Marketing), Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies, elaborates about the company’s products and strategies. “Currently, we are in the mode of creating awareness in the still evolving market in India and also globally. As part of our strategy, we are focusing on new developments because at some point in the future, the usage of IC engines will reduce and our products relevant for those will also have less demand,” he says.
