What S.A.S. Industries does

S.A.S. Industries, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned U.S. manufacturer of custom gaskets, seals, O-rings, waveguide gaskets, connector gaskets, and proprietary EMI/RFI shielding materials, founded in 1973 in Wantagh, NY and headquartered in Manorville, NY since 1982. The company's product portfolio is anchored by its proprietary SAS SEALTRON® line of conductive elastomers — including particle-filled silicones (SEALTRON 1000), oriented wire in silicone (SEALTRON 2000), and expanded metal/woven screen cloth composites (SEALTRON 3000) — which meet Mil-DTL-83528 military specifications for electromagnetic interference and radio-frequency interference shielding in defense and aerospace electronics enclosures. Manufacturing capabilities are vertically integrated and include die cutting, CNC machining (Haas), compression and liquid injection molding with sub-20-second cycle times, vulcanizing, and Flow water jet cutting with a 6'x12' bed capable of holding tolerances to ±0.003", backed by Keyence VR-5200 3D inspection and Instron material testing.

The company sells primarily into aerospace & defense, telecommunications, and industrial manufacturing customers, with a smaller legacy base in plumbing and infrastructure gaskets for manhole covers and pipe flanges. Quality and regulatory credentials — AS9100:2016 Rev D, ISO 9001:2015, ITAR registration, SAM (CAGE 4L975), and Mil-DTL-83528 compliance — qualify the business for inclusion in defense and aerospace OEM supply chains. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: two named sales representatives (Mark Derr, Melissa Lampman) handle quote-based custom orders via phone (631-727-1441), [email protected], and the sasindustries.com website, with technical product catalogs, data sheets, and a materials sampler as the primary marketing assets. The company maintains a single domestic channel with no international footprint.

Operationally, S.A.S. runs two manufacturing sites — Manorville, NY (13 acres, HQ since 1982) and Elizabeth City, NC (opened 2020, more-than-5x capacity increase) — providing geographic redundancy and disaster mitigation. It has been continuously controlled by the Steckis family since founding, with Mitchell Steckis serving as President, Steve Steckis as Plant Manager, and Debbie Steckis overseeing HR and office operations. The firm holds a long-standing distribution agreement with Saint Gobain (formerly Connecticut Hard Rubber / CHR Silicones, since 1983) to convert and resell silicone products, and uses Hypertherm ProNest nesting software for material optimization in water jet operations.
