it to offer an emergency service and supply products within 24 hours of an order being received by an EagleBurgmann subsidiary or the service centre network. An in-house test laboratory for in-process testing ensures 100% reproducibility and that gaskets are manufactured to a consistently high quality. In addition, further production units – equipped with gasket cutting plotters and spiral-wound gasket machines – have been set up at various other locations worldwide, says the firm.
