Uchiyama Gaskets

In 1898, the company was founded as the Uchiyama Cork-Stopper Factory and began production of cork stoppers. Since then, it has developed a great many cork products and has grown into a top manufacturer in the cork industry. During this period, synthetic rubber and synthetic resin production divisions were added and presently gaskets and sealing materials for cars and industrial machines are the company's mainstay.

With the key words “Sealing and Insulation,” Uchiyama designs and develops seals and gaskets, from raw materials to finished products, mostly for the automotive industry. To cope with environmental needs for greater fuel efficiency, the role of seals and gaskets has also progressed and contributed to environmental improvements.

Vehicles have evolved to meet the demands of changing times and regions. Uchiyama firmly believes these changes present a great opportunity for its product expansion in the global market. The company strives to strengthen its basic research and development of new technology and products, challenge things that nobody has ever tried without hesitating out of fear of failure. The goal of Uchiyama is to keep an open mind and find better ways to develop new and better products.

The strength of Uchiyama is its own development technology. The company is proud of providing the utmost quality in the world from raw material development to production, as “Raw Material Development & Evaluation”, “Product Development Design & Evaluation” and “Production Engineering” are three in one. Uchiyama has progressed, step-by-step, by rapidly responding to global market changes and following its key words “Seal and Insulation”.
