Burgmann Packings

What Burgmann Packings does

Burgmann Packings Group GmbH is a German-headquartered, privately held manufacturer of industrial sealing solutions serving petrochemical, chemical, power generation, oil & gas, and OEM customers in more than 40 countries. The company was founded in 1884 and is currently wholly owned by Dr. Wolfgang Bommes, who acquired the group from Freudenberg in 2004. It operates five manufacturing and sales locations across Germany (Waldenburg headquarters, Bad Tölz, Wolfratshausen), Ireland (Dublin), China (Cixi production, Shanghai sales), and Turkey (Tuzla-Istanbul), employing 250+ professionals.

The product portfolio spans three core categories: mechanical compression packings (for valves, pumps, and static applications in materials such as aramid, PTFE, carbon, graphite, glass, and cotton); industrial gaskets (spiral wound, metal jacketed, kammprofile, ring type joint, and graphite sheets); and precision pre-formed cover seals and graphite rings for heavy-duty valves and high-pressure feedwater pre-heaters. A dedicated Fugitive Emission Control (FEC) product line addresses low-emission regulatory requirements (TA-Luft, ISO 15848, API 622/624/589/6A/6FB) with proprietary formulations such as BPG 7290 (80% friction reduction) and BPG 6903 (99.85% carbon purity, BAM-approved, nuclear-grade). Products are sold quote-based (no public pricing) via direct sales engineers working with end-users and OEM departments, with no third-party distributors indicated.

Revenue is generated entirely through B2B hardware sales of custom-engineered sealing products, with no software, subscription, or service-based revenue streams disclosed. The company holds certifications across ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, API 6A, BAM, and FDA frameworks, and is a member of the European Sealing Association e.V. and the German Mittelstand. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed.
