What DEPAC does
DEPAC Anstalt is a Liechtenstein-headquartered manufacturer of stationary mechanical seals (Gleitringdichtungen/GLRD) founded in 1983, now operating as a subsidiary of Sweden's DENSIQ Group following the October 2021 acquisition. The company's core technology centers on stationary mechanical seals where spring elements reside in the stationary component rather than the rotating sleeve, eliminating sleeve scoring and reducing vibration-driven wear — a design that competes against the more common hydraulically unbalanced dynamic seals still prevalent in process plants. The product portfolio extends beyond GLRDs into hydraulic seals using proprietary polymer compounds with homogeneous lubricant content, high-quality packings for stuffing box applications, thermosiphon and barrier pressure supply systems (TS80/TS81/TS3.0), and a COMTEC line of polymer composite repair and coating systems.
DEPAC operates a sales-led go-to-market combining direct sales from its Eschen headquarters, regional sales/service offices in Germany (Mönchengladbach) and Austria (Schlins, co-located with the 1,800 m² production facility), and an extensive third-party distribution network spanning 30+ countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of physical sealing components priced on a quote basis, with the company explicitly positioning on total cost of ownership rather than initial purchase price. Customer concentration is in the process industries — chemical (Solvay), sugar/food (Südzucler), paper (WEPA, Rondo Ganahl), water treatment (RWSG), and niche industrial applications (Skilifte Lech) — with sales also reaching OEM pump and compressor manufacturers requiring custom-spec seals.
Operationally, DEPAC is a small (11–50 employees) but geographically distributed industrial specialist. Recent activity includes ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications (2022), an EcoVadis Silver Medal (top 15% globally, 2024), rebranding under the DENSIQ Group identity (2023), and continued patent and utility model accumulation since 2015. The company reports that 2020 was its best-ever sales year despite the pandemic and that business volume has grown "continuously above industry average." Management is held by a six-person executive team including CEO Markus Zaversnik, with co-founder Ing. Peter Scrivener (who acquired 100% in 2005) having transitioned out.
