- Austrian Engineer Richard Klinger pioneered the way forward for gasket technology with the development of the compressed fibre gasket in 1899.
- A high precision Waterjet Profile Cutting Facility which produces both metallic and non-metallic components and benefits from software controlled Waterjet tilting jet technology which enables the production of taper-free components.
- A Knife Cutting Facility featuring a robust CNC machine and flexible vacuum control which is utilised for the high accuracy conversion of gaskets from sheet material.
- An Optical Measuring Microscope which allows for non-contact inspection of components to the highest accuracy and for First Article reports to be generated automatically from the collated data.
- Ground breaking material technologies arising from Research and Development from within the Klinger Group.
