Why International Clients Choose Stephens Gaskets
1. Specialised Expertise Hard to Find Locally
Many overseas companies struggle to find manufacturers who can deliver the level of precision and material flexibility we offer. Whether it’s a shim in PEEK or a laser-cut stainless washer with tight tolerances, we produce parts that are technically complex, but made simple for our clients.
2. Full Support for Custom Parts
Every component we manufacture is made to order. We help clients who need non-standard sizes, uncommon materials, or fast prototypes—often in lower volumes than local suppliers are willing to support.
3. English-Speaking Support & Documentation
Clear communication is key. Our team offers fast, helpful responses to RFQs, engineering queries, and logistics questions – all in fluent English. We also supply full documentation (C of C, material certs, etc.) with every export.
