What Hallite Seals Australia does

Hallite Seals Australia is the Australian operating entity of Hallite Seals International Ltd, a UK-headquartered manufacturer of hydraulic and pneumatic sealing solutions serving OEMs in heavy-duty construction equipment, mining, off-highway vehicles, agriculture, general industrial machinery, material handling, and aerospace. The company sells into the fluid power industry via a catalog of more than 105,000 stocked products — including rod seals, single- and double-acting piston seals, Vee pack seals, wiper/dust seals, bearings and wear rings, unitized pistons, swivel/rotary seals, and pneumatic seals — backed by proprietary material suites (Hythane elastomers, Armorlene PTFE portfolio, OptiSeal spring-energized systems). Headquartered in Hampton, United Kingdom, Hallite is a wholly owned subsidiary within the Michelin Group (ultimate parent: Compagnie Générale des Établissements Michelin) and operates across 7 countries plus the UK; the Australian subsidiary is located in Seven Hills with a 1–10 employee footprint focused on the local OEM and distributor market. The business model is hardware-led: specification-based, quote-driven sales of standard and customized seal SKUs to OEMs, complemented by an approved global distributor network, direct enterprise sales, digital self-service tools (Product Finder, Conversion Calculator, downloadable knowledge bank), and a trade-show presence (CONEXPO 2026). The company is ISO 9001/14001/45001 certified, holds a zero-waste-to-landfill facility designation under the 2020 UK Climate Change Agreement, and has consolidated the Australian market through two tuck-in acquisitions (Transeals in 2011, SealTeam Australia in 2023).

Products and services

• Armorlene® PTFE Portfolio Comprehensive range of PTFE seals for dynamic sealing applications, manufactured from Hallite's proprietary material and compound production expertise.
• Rod Seals Rod seals prevent fluid from leaking from inside hydraulic cylinders to the outside, protecting equipment performance and preventing environmental contamination.
• Single-Acting Piston Seals Piston seals that ensure fluid does not leak past the piston end when the piston retracts under system pressure.
• Double-Acting Piston Seals Double-acting piston seals control fluid flow on both extension and retraction strokes of hydraulic cylinders.
• Vee Pack Seals V-seals with multiple sealing lips, typically consisting of an upper adapter, 3-5 V-rings, and a lower adapter for medium to heavy-duty single-acting and double-acting cylinder applications.
• Wiper Seals / Dust Seals Hydraulic cylinder wiper seals prevent contaminants such as dust and moisture from entering the cylinder when the piston rod retracts.
• Bearings / Wear Rings / Bushings Guide bearings and wear rings provide guidance for pistons and rods in cylinders while resisting side loads and preventing metal-to-metal contact.
• Unitized Pistons The T720 unitized piston combines non-metal guide ring materials formed over a steel piston body, precision machined for tight cylinder fit and seal installation.
• Swivel/Rotary Seals Rotary seals designed for slow-speed rotation applications such as hydraulic swivel joints.
• Rod Buffer Seals Rod buffer seals protect the primary rod seal from pressure shock impacts.
• Pneumatic Seals A range of seals specifically designed for pneumatic system applications, including T607, T608 piston seals, T609 rod seal, T661 buffer seal, and T851/T853 combined rod seal and wiper assemblies.
• OptiSeal® System A spring-energized, high-performance, low-friction full-spectrum sealing solution.
• Hythane® Suite of Materials Material suite offering extreme temperature and chemical resistance for demanding sealing applications.
• Hallite Product Finder Digital product search tool to find seals by type, part number, housing dimensions, operating conditions, and fluid compatibility.
