Founded

1943

Founded as a small Southeast Texas gasket-fabricating shop in 1943, APG now manufactures and distributes fluid-sealing and conveyance products, including O-rings, gaskets, and industrial couplings. The company’s wartime expansion helped shape its broad product base, while its Ever-Tite brand is tied to the first patented cam-and-groove coupling, introduced in 1944. Based in Houston, APG also maintains more than 500,000 linear feet of gasket materials for distribution, OEM, and fabrication customers.
