Our Story

Engineering at the Service of Industry since 1954

Calvo Sealing was born in Barcelona with a clear mission: to manufacture sealing solutions that never fail. Today, with over 70 years of history, we remain a company with own-brand manufacturing, accumulated know-how and a vocation for technical excellence.

One Company. One Mission.

In 1954, in the industrial heart of Barcelona, Calvo Sealing began its activity as a specialist manufacturer of gaskets and sealing components for the Catalan industry. What started as a local project became, over time, an international reference.

Decades of working alongside the most demanding industrial processes have given us knowledge that cannot be found in catalogues. We know what fails, why it fails and how to prevent it. That knowledge is the core of our solutions.

Today Calvo Sealing operates from its manufacturing plant in Barcelona, with offices in Hungary, LATAM and Morocco. We are manufacturers, not distributors. That gives us the freedom to develop proprietary materials, adapt dimensions and offer solutions that the standard market cannot provide.

Our ICP brand is the testament to that capability: a line of high-performance materials designed, formulated and manufactured entirely by Calvo Sealing.
