GITIS

What GITIS does

GITIS is an Italian sealing-technology manufacturer founded in 1979 in Sarnico (BG) and now operating from Capriolo (BS), where it runs two plants totaling 15,000 m² of integrated production. The company develops, manufactures, and distributes O-rings, rubber moulded components, and co-moulded multi-component parts used in automotive, oil & gas, chemical process, food & pharmaceutical, and hydrogen applications. Its technical foundation rests on proprietary fluoroelastomer injection moulding (where GITIS was the first manufacturer of FKM O-rings via injection moulding), vertically integrated compound development, in-house mold design and prototyping, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation of seal behavior, and a cleanroom production capability supporting FFKM and regulated pharmaceutical/food parts. The product portfolio spans standard O-rings from 0.5 mm mini-rings to 2,000 mm maxi-rings, custom rubber moulded components, co-moulded metal/resin-to-rubber assemblies, and dedicated platforms including the H2G Hydrogen Series (electrolyser, compressor, FCEV seals) and GITIS GTX perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) materials.

GITIS operates a direct, engineering-led go-to-market model. Pricing is quote-based and driven by material specification, geometry, order volume, and application complexity, with an online Material Configurator (cpq.gitis.it) for preliminary specification. The company sells through technical sales experts in three regions: Italy (Capriolo headquarters), Germany via the Averis GmbH joint venture in Fellbach, and China via GITIS Sealing Technology Co. Ltd. in Wuxi, supplemented by participation in major trade shows (Pumps & Valves, IVS, Hydrogen EXPO, Hydrogen Technology World Expo). It holds IATF 16949:2016 for automotive quality, ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001 certifications, and compliance to FDA, EU 1935/2004, and USP Class VI for food and pharma applications. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of sealing components and through professional services around custom compound development; specific financial figures are not publicly disclosed.

• GITIS GTX

Products and services

• O-Rings High-performance O-rings produced in every dimension — from mini-rings of 0.5 mm inner diameter to maxi-rings up to 2,000 mm — using elastomer compounds including AEM/ACM, HNBR, FKM, FFKM, EPDM, and silicone (FVMQ, VMQ). Designed for demanding industrial sealing applications in automotive, food and beverage / pharma, oil and gas, chemical processes, and hydrogen markets.
• Rubber Moulded Components Highly specialized rubber sealing systems developed through R&D collaboration with customers, combining FEA simulation, CAD/CAM tools, and in-house mold design and prototyping. Delivered for unique sealing applications in harsh operating conditions across automotive, oil and gas, chemical, food/pharma, and hydrogen industries.
• Co-Moulded Components Multi-component sealing systems combining hard and soft components — metal-to-rubber, resin-to-rubber, or resin with metal inserts-to-rubber — produced via dedicated vertical injection moulding in a single product. Eliminates assembly operations, reduces costs, and minimizes application issues for industrial customers.
• H2G — GITIS Hydrogen Series Complete sealing technology platform for hydrogen applications, including O-rings, special seals, stack seals (Edge Bonding Seal technology), dynamic seals, and backup rings. Used in electrolysers, compressors, valves, connectors, pumps, and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) with RGD-compliant materials and high-pressure capability exceeding 1050 bar in dynamic applications.
• GITIS GTX (FFKM Elastomers) Portfolio of perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) materials with a fully fluorinated polymer backbone and fluorine content exceeding 71%, delivering exceptional resistance in extreme environments. Includes VB080FF2 (Industrial), VW075FFQ (Food & Pharma), VB075FF1 (Oil & Gas), and VB090FFL (RGD-resistant) compounds.
• Food & Beverage / Pharma Sealing Materials Dedicated elastomer materials for food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical processing — compliant with FDA, EU1935/2004, and USP Class VI — validated for Clean in Place (CIP), Steam in Place (SIP), high-temperature steam sterilization, and Water for Injection (WFI) applications. Produced in cleanroom environments for contamination control.
• Oil & Gas Sealing Materials High-performance elastomer sealing materials for upstream and downstream oil and gas environments, including refineries, petrol processing plants, oil fields, and pipelines.
