Gaskets Unlimited

What Gaskets Unlimited does

Gaskets Unlimited is a privately held, Atlanta-based manufacturer and master distributor of commercial refrigeration door gaskets and complementary cooler/freezer hardware. Founded in 2001, the company operates from a single facility at 3001 McCall Drive in Atlanta, Georgia, where it manufactures gaskets in-house using the same materials, machines, and welding technology employed by OEM producers, stocking more than 90 profiles extruded from PVC, Santoprene, and Silicone for both hot- and cold-side applications. Beyond gaskets, the catalog includes refrigeration hardware (door closers, latches, handles, strikes, inside releases, door sweeps, shelving, fasteners), custom strip curtain kits, NSF-approved cutting boards, and custom-cut heater wire, with over $1M in stocked hardware inventory and representation of Kason Industries, Component Hardware Group, Dictator, and Premco parts.

The business runs on a hybrid B2B model: an exclusive-account e-commerce storefront on BigCommerce supports direct sales to commercial refrigeration contractors and end-customers, while wholesale distribution flows through three anchor partners — Johnstone Supply, United Refrigeration, and Baker Distributing — that resell into the broader HVAC/R channel. A dedicated field-sales team targets national supermarket chains and OEM accounts, and a proprietary cross-reference database allows buyers to identify gaskets by model, serial, or OEM part number. Fulfillment is ground-shipped from Atlanta with same-day shipping for orders received by 2pm EST.

Gaskets Unlimited is bootstrapped and founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and a small (11-50) headcount concentrated around production, customer service, and a small direct sales team. Operating geographies are described as the US Southeast, with national-account ambitions signaled but no public confirmation of major supermarket contracts. Pricing is quote-based for custom work and not publicly disclosed.
