The company we now know as Elring (parent company ElringKlinger) has its roots in Stuttgart and Vienna, its history going all the way back to 1880. The first gaskets were made as early as 1924. Today, Elring (with the well-known round logo that looks a bit like a gasket) is a supplier of a wide range of gaskets and gasket sets.

Complete sets for professional repairs and overhauls. Whether you need gasket sets for cylinder heads, valve covers or even complete petrol or diesel engines, Elring has it. Always demand-oriented, i.e. with a keen eye for what the market needs when repairing passenger cars and commercial vehicles. To this end, Elring is in constant dialogue with the main car and engine manufacturers: what is needed and what can be improved?

An Elring seal looks simple on the face of it, but in fact it is an ingenious system of several innovative materials that reinforce each other. For example, Elring invented the patented Metaloseal, a plastic gasket reinforced with a metal insert, which can be used for many applications. The motto at Elring's developers is that it should seal! All that matters is the perfect 'fit' so that a gasket set does what it is supposed to do. Even under the toughest conditions. Elring also supplies a wide range of liquid gaskets and various locking agents, such as Dirko and Curil. Curil has special properties: it is easy to apply, no waiting time is needed and it is non-curing. Dirko is used for all sorts of things; it is perfect for sealing the oil sump, for example.
