We just completed another successful Zatkoff Academy session, where some of our newest employees learned important industry concepts and got a first-hand look at product demonstrations.

At Zatkoff Seals & Packings, we take pride in our high-performing products that deliver optimal results for the long term. In line with this commitment to deliver the best sealing solutions, our scraper rings were made to outperform its traditional rod scraper ring counterparts.

When we first started in 1959, Zatkoff Seals & Packings operated out of our founder’s basement. 60 years later, we now have eight branches across the Midwest. See how our company has grown over the years

Over the years, Zatkoff Seals & Packings has grown from having one dedicated vendor that handled all our programming needs, to having most of our developers onsite. Today, we have an in-house technology department that not only handles all of our custom programming needs, but also works on special projects to enhance our customer and supplier relationships.

Solving challenges has always been a part of Zatkoff Seals & Packings history. Interacting with customers and helping them during times of need is why founder Roger Zatkoff started his own business. Trade shows were the perfect backdrop to engage with customers and learn first-hand about the engineering obstacles they face.

The relationship between a distributor and major manufacturer is a complex one, as each party plays a vital role in enabling the success of the other. That said, the 60-year-long relationship between Zatkoff Seals & Packings and Parker Hannifin has an elaborate history that traces a legacy of mutually-beneficial successes.

1989 was a year of growth for Zatkoff Seals & Packings with the addition of our fourth facility in Saginaw. The location was an obvious choice, given it was the home of two large foundries, as well as the Saginaw Steering Division, which supplied several of the big three automakers.

Last week, technical representatives from Zatkoff Seals & Packings and Parker Hannifin’s Engineered Materials Group (EMG) came together for a three-day training event. With a collaborative approach, they utilized new project management tools and practiced skills to help them recognize and address tough issues confronting our customers. With a better understanding of these difficulties, our team of technical representatives can more effectively use Zatkoff and Parker resources to create value for our respected customers moving forward.

At Zatkoff Seals & Packings, the need to be innovative and forward-thinking is key to providing the best service to our customers. This philosophy has been with Zatkoff since it was established back in 1959 and remains a core belief to this day. It all started with a scale...

Today, $6.43 might not seem like a historic sale to most, but it certainly was for Zatkoff Seals & Packings back in March of 1959. As the very first sale made by founder Roger Zatkoff to Mayson Manufacturing, it started a commitment to customer service that has continued into the company’s 60th year.
