William Johnston & Company are leading gasket manufacturers and trusted suppliers of gaskets, nuts, bolts, watertight door joints, washers and associated products throughout the UK, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. 
 
Established in the 1940s by William Johnston, William Johnston & Company have continued to grow in size, expertise and reputation, and we are now one of the most respected companies in the UK market; trusted and relied upon to supply gaskets and parts for utilities, construction and varied engineering projects across the world. We are now one of the largest manufacturers of gaskets in the UK, and we have been pleased to continually grow the export side of the business to serve large projects nationally and internationally.
 
We stock a huge range of gaskets (including EPDM Gaskets, Industrial Gaskets, Marine Gaskets and more - all of which are met with BSI, WRC and FDA approvals), as well as other associated products – from rubber sealants to O-rings. For engineering and industrial applications we supply jointing materials including commercial rubber, SBR, EPDM, Neoprene, Nitrile , Viton, sponge, silicone, oil tan paper and graphite - cut as gaskets or strip to suit individual requirements. We also supply metal ring gaskets, spiral wound gaskets, PTFE envelopes and a full range of pump and valve packings in pure 24B PTFE. We supply the automotive sector with mudflaps, snowplough blades, antislip walkways and matting. 

 
From our bases in Glasgow and Inverness, we are excellently placed to directly supply national and international companies, and can offer fast, reliable delivery. We have a van available from our Inverness factory covering offering even faster delivery to local areas.  Visit our website for a comprehensive list of products available, or call our friendly team on 0141 620 1666.

Gasket Products

At William Johnston & Company we proudly manufacture and supply a vast range of gaskets – which have BSI, WRC and FDA approvals for our clients’ peace of mind. We supply EPDM gaskets, industrial gaskets, cork gaskets, flange gaskets, gas gaskets, water gaskets, pump gaskets, spirit gaskets, marine gaskets, automotive gaskets, food quality gaskets and steam gaskets. 
 
Our gaskets are manufactured from a vast range of materials, including natural rubber, Neoprene, Butyl, EPDM, Silicone, Viton, shot blast rubber, Nitrile rubber, Styrene butadiene, drab rubber and expanded PTFE. EPDM offers good resistance to heat, weathering and ozone esters. Natural rubber offers reasonable resistance to acids and alkalis, with abrasion resistance. Neoprene offers good resistance to corrosion and weathering, and is ideal for seawater applications, whilst commercial rubbers are low-cost options coming in a variety of compounds, and good for general engineering applications.  Nitrile has good resistance to hot oils, fats and alkalis, and robust Butyl is perfectly suited to weathering, ozone and chemical attack. Viton is excellent for high temperature use (up to 250 degrees centigrade), whereas silicone rubber is better for low temperatures (minus 60 degrees centigrade). Nitrile bonded cork gaskets offer good thermal insulation, fibre paper jointing offers resistance to oils and fuels, closed cell sponges vary in shape and density and can be weather resistant, and open cell sponges have similar properties and are supplied in strips or sheets at various densities.
 
Any member of our experienced team will be happy to advise you on which products are best for your individual requirements.
