KLINGER Holding takes over SJP Sealing Technology, expanding its global offering in gaskets, mechanical seals, and sealing services in Southeast Asia. Headquartered in Singapore, SJP is a leading provider of sealing solutions and pump services with further operations in Malaysia and business in Vietnam. This acquisition is a key step in KLINGER’s international growth strategy and further strengthens its role as a solution provider in the global industrial landscape.
Founded in 1984, SJP Sealing Technology started as a marine industry specialist and developed into a trusted full-service partner in sealing solutions and pump services. In addition, SJP holds several product distribution rights in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam and has built long-standing customer relationships across multiple industries. The company is particularly recognized for its technical knowledge, reliability, and flexibility in delivering customized solutions. “SJP has always been hands-on, customer-focused, and technically strong. We’re proud of what we’ve built – and we’re ready to take it further with KLINGER,” says Pamela Koay, former shareholder, who stays on as Chief Operating Officer of SJP.
The transition in ownership also marks a change in leadership: Stephen Tan, who led the company for decades, is retiring. His confidence in the future is strong, saying,
“KLINGER is the corporation I trust to take SJP to the next level and make it truly future-ready. We’ve always believed in strong values, and KLINGER shares that belief.”
Kevin Woolley, who also leads KLINGER Australia and KLINGER Thailand, will be responsible for SJP within the KLINGER Group. Together with Pamela as COO, the new leadership team will ensure continuity and further develop the business in alignment with KLINGER’s global standards. “We’re not only expanding our capabilities, but we are strengthening our solutions and regional footprint” says Kevin. “SJP’s technical services and product expertise fit perfectly into KLINGER’s offerings.”
For KLINGER, the acquisition is more than a strategic expansion. It’s an investment in technical excellence, long-term relationships, and a shared future. SJP maintains its local strength and proximity to customers, while having access to KLINGER’s global network. Christoph Klinger-Lohr, CEO of KLINGER Group emphasizes,
“Our customers, partners, and teams can rely on continuity, quality, and collaboration. We are excited to welcome SJP Sealing Technology into the KLINGER family.”
