About Atlas Seals – Three Generations in the Seals Business

How Atlas Seals Began

Atlas Seals, now the pinnacle of sealing performance, once came from humble beginnings. Originating as a homegrown venture, the brainchild of Tommy Zitting, Atlas Seals emerged as a machining job shop within a small backyard garage in the heart of Salt Lake City, UT. Tommy initiated this endeavor to supplement his earnings while dedicating his days to his father’s seal manufacturing enterprise, Macrotech Polyseal.

Atlas Seals began to take shape in 2006 when Gordon Zitting, Tommy’s father, divested his business. Tommy decided to pave his own path and establish an enterprise of his own along with his nephew, Skyler Zitting- thus birthing Atlas Seals.

Presently, Atlas Seals has burgeoned into a 12,000 square feet powerhouse, boasting a lineup of 12 cutting-edge CNC machines and an in-house PTFE billet molding capability. Nestled in Salt Lake City, the company has evolved significantly, fostering a team of proficient and seasoned seal engineering professionals. As a result, Atlas Seals stands tall as the fastest-growing American manufacturer within the engineering seals industry. Still true to its roots, Skyler Zitting now serves as the Vice President of Atlas Seals, representing the third generation.

Unwavering commitment to excellence and tireless dedication to quality have propelled Atlas Seals into the forefront of American engineering seal manufacturers, reflecting the vision and passion of its founders, Tommy and Skyler Zitting.

Spring Energized Seals

Spring energized PTFE seals are awesome problem solvers, and they are fun to design for any application. By combining the hardness of the outer plastic with the resilience of the inner spring, a spring energized seal provides more consistent sealing force over a longer period of time. At Atlas Seals we offer 4 different types of spring energized seals, each suited for different environments and applications.

PTFE Rotary Seals

Rotary Seals are needed when tough application conditions exceed the capabilities of elastomeric (rubber or polyurethane) seals. Atlas Seals offers tons of different PTFE and high-performance plastics for the outer portion of seals as well as different types of springs, which we match up with each individual order based on your specific application. Each rotary seal created by Atlas Seals is engineered to avoid common counter rotation failures, which you can read more about on our rotary seals page.
