Klinger Italy acquires Spiralit

With more than 175 of experience between them, Klinger Italy and Spiralit are perfectly matched to bring mutual gasket and seal mastery to Italy.
When Spiralit founders Marco Santiani and Gennaro Scotti began to plan the next phase for their company, they knew the business was ready for a wider audience. Quality recognizes quality, and Klinger Italy could see that the Spiralit team was dedicated to the precise workmanship and high quality that Klinger customers have come to expect. Said Raffaele Pittaluga, Managing Director of Klinger Italy: “Spiralit shares the same values as Klinger. They make good products, with good people. They’re a perfect fit.”
After discussing mutual goals, a deal was struck, and Spiralit joined the Klinger Group as a part of their Italian business.
Spiralit has a legacy of exacting quality control and high-caliber products, as exemplified by their TA-Lüft VDI-2440 and UNI EN ISO 9001: 2008 certifications. This attention to detail meshes perfectly with Klinger’s commitment to offering the highest quality materials, creating a partnership that will allow current and future customers access to the best products on the market.
Spiralit offers a multitude of sealing products for major industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power plants. Their flat gaskets include specialty options such as PTFE and eyeleted gaskets. Spiral wound gaskets are available coated and uncoated, with a variety of metals and filler materials depending on project needs. 3-ply and metal jacketed Kammprofile gaskets are suitable for high compression applications. Metallic gaskets for petrochemical applications come in a variety of alloys and shapes, while calibrated shims are tailored for use with compressors, turbines, and pumps. Five types of flange insulation kits prevent contact corrosion and galvanic corrosion in a variety of systems. Packings come in multiple yarns to suit the entire pH range and multiple types of media. Seal rings include standard rubber O rings, as well as specialty items like Gard Oil, a labyrinth system instead of lip seal rings.
Spiralit’s innovation doesn’t stop at their products; the facilities themselves are also constantly upgrading and improving. New water jet, flash cut, and automatic spiraling machines allow the team to produce multiple variations of custom sealing products in a fraction of the time required in standard operations. Specialized CAM (computer aided manufacturing) products such as sophisticated nesting software allow Spiralit to maximize plate utilization, reduce waste, and lower material costs. Automated manufacturing processes allow the manufacturer to meet tight specifications with high speed and precision. The company’s forward-thinking attitude and dedication to constant product improvement allowed them to grow a solid customer base, while their unparalleled customer-first atmosphere encouraged loyalty and repeat business.
“Spiralit customers can expect to receive the same excellent sealing products and skilled service, but with the addition of Klinger’s extensive resources backing the relationship”, said Marco Santiani, Director Operational Excellence at Spiralit.
All normal business processes will remain unchanged, allowing customers to experience a seamless transition during the integration process. Marco Santiani and Gennaro Scotti and will remain a part of the leadership team as directors for the development of important projects in the field of Operational Excellence and Business Development. Scotti is looking forward to this next chapter in Spiralit’s development, saying “The new ownership will let us do more for our customers. If they notice any difference, it will only be a positive one.”
This winning combination will no doubt prove a boon to the entire Spiralit and Klinger Italy customer base.
