Over the years, Hutchinson PSS has earned a solid reputation for producing world class seals. While these markets have served Hutchinson PSS well over the years, if the company is to grow and realize its full potential, it must look to new markets where it can leverage its core competencies. Just doing what we’ve always done will not be good enough.  The seal markets are fairly volatile due to heavy reliance on the highly-cyclical, durable goods industries they serve. This cyclicality is further compounded by the commodity-like, non-differentiated nature of many seals. And, while aftermarket demand helps mitigate this volatility, pricing patterns and margins are strongly restrained by the maturity of the market, supplier consolidation and foreign competition.  Changes in end-user demands and increasing government regulations are driving innovations that require the use of advanced polymers, fillers and cure systems that cannot be made by just anyone. Our expertise and decades of experience pioneering these kinds of “emerging” technologies gives our customers’ products a competitive edge in the marketplace and helps them to avoid costly repairs to expensive machinery due to seal or bearing failure.
