What jaeger-unitek does

Jaeger-Unitek Sealing Solutions, Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer of engineered rubber and thermoplastic profile extrusions, founded in 1925 and headquartered in La Porte, Indiana. The company operates as a subsidiary of the Jäger Group, a fourth-generation family-owned German conglomerate (Arnold Jäger Holding GmbH, Hannover) that spans 13 companies and over 20 locations globally with 1,200+ employees. Jaeger-Unitek produces custom-engineered sealing solutions including weatherstripping, window and door seals, NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) components, bumper spacers, and windshield molding for OEM customers across automotive, recreational vehicle (RV), heavy truck and trailer, agricultural and construction equipment, HVAC, and wind energy markets.

The company's technical core is automotive-grade polymer sealing technology, supported by IATF 16949-certified quality systems, ISO 50001 energy management certification, multi-material (single/dual/tri-durometer) rubber and plastic extrusion, advanced CAD/3D printing for prototyping, and in-house mechanical/CMM testing. Its flagship product family is the Flip 'N Seal® slide-out sealing system for RVs, an integrated one-component wipe-and-bulb seal replacing traditional two-piece designs, paired with complementary patented or patent-pending components: AquaDiverter® (water management), StyleCap® (corner seal cover), FlushFloor Reinforcer® (structural reinforcement), and HideWire Technology® (wire harness concealment).

Jaeger-Unitek operates a hybrid go-to-market: direct enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers for each industry vertical (automotive, RV OEM, RV aftermarket, industrial), augmented by an Amazon storefront for aftermarket/consumer Flip 'N Seal sales and trade show presence (notably the Elkhart RV Dealer Open House). Revenue derives from one-time sales of OEM-engineered sealing products and aftermarket replacement parts, plus value-added manufacturing services (cutting, lamination, over-molding, bonding). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company does not disclose revenue figures. Leadership transitioned in January 2026 with Colton Phelan appointed CEO, succeeding Mark Dilley who retired after more than three decades with the company.
