Accurate Felt & Gasket

What Accurate Felt & Gasket does

Accurate Felt & Gasket (AFG) is a family-owned custom gasket manufacturer and gasket material distributor founded in 1951 and headquartered in a 42,000 square foot facility in Cicero, Illinois, near Chicago. The company fabricates precision custom die-cut gaskets from a broad portfolio of materials — including felt, rubber, sponge and foam, cork, cork-and-rubber, fibre and cellulose, electrical insulation, and plastics — using in-house die cutting, slitting, and laminating capabilities, and is ISO 9001:2015 certified through July 2028. AFG also serves as a multi-brand material distributor, holding Master Distributor and Fabricator status with Interface Performance Materials (Alkegen/Lydall) for over 65 years, as well as 3M Select Converter status and distributor relationships with Victor Reinz (Dana), Amorim, Rubberlite, and VIP Rubber.

The company serves industrial, OEM, MRO, military, and battery and electric vehicle customers across the United States and internationally via a direct sales motion — quote-based pricing driven by specifications, materials, quantities, and complexity — with order intake through its website request-for-quote form, phone, and email. Gasket production runs span prototypes through several thousand units. The business model combines two revenue streams: custom gasket fabrication (higher-value, project-based) and wholesale material distribution in rolls, sheets, and by-the-yard quantities (higher-volume, lower-margin). The company currently operates with 11-50 employees and is in the second generation of family ownership following the 2023 passing of long-time owner Bill Gurney, with his children Bryan and Erin Gurney now leading the business.
