Back in 1929, the first gasket was cut by British Gaskets when the family run company was formed in central London. Masterforms cutters then began as an on-site tooling company in 1971. Specialist mouldings and O rings were incorporated into the companies product range in 1973 with the arrival of British Seals and Rubber Moulding Ltd. 1992 saw the development of our own range of materials, in partnership with one of Europe’s leading manufacturers. In the same year a new manufacturing site was acquired at Sudbury, Suffolk to accommodate the Groups ever increasing customer base. To enhance its global sourcing capacity, in 1994 the Group set out to form alliances with the Far East. As a result a commercial partnership was formed with a leading Chinese moulding manufacturer. An automotive aftermarket facility was established in 1999 that provides the Group with a strong presence in the automotive aftermarket industry. Further expansion in 2001 was achieved when the group purchased Cotswold Rubber Products. Diversifying to other markets the Group also launched BG Packaging.The Group expanded again in 2004 with the acquisition of Scotland’s leading sealing distribution company, Bovill & Boyd Engineering. 2007 - 2010 saw the introductions of Screen Printing Gasket Manufacturing in Sudbury, Suffolk and the acquisition of 3D Moulding.
