Celebrating 70 Years of Gallagher Fluid Seals

On January 16, 2026, Gallagher Fluid Seals proudly marks 70 years in business—a milestone made possible by generations of leadership, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to our customers.

Watch the video below to hear directly from our leadership and learn more about the 70- year journey of Gallagher Fluid Seals.

Founded in 1956 by Walter B. Gallagher, our company began as a small industrial distributor serving customers across the greater Philadelphia region. Over the decades, Gallagher Fluid Seals evolved alongside the industries we support, transitioning from maintenance and repair solutions to highly engineered sealing technologies for OEM applications nationwide.

Today, under the leadership of CEO Chris Gallagher, Gallagher Fluid Seals has grown from a single location to six locations across the country, expanded through strategic acquisitions, and invested heavily in advanced fabrication and manufacturing capabilities. Most importantly, our team has grown to more than 100 dedicated professionals who bring expertise, ingenuity, and pride to everything we do.

As we celebrate this anniversary, we remain focused on what has always mattered most: strong partnerships, technical excellence, and a commitment to solving our customers’ most demanding sealing challenges.

Thank you to our employees, customers, and partners who have been part of this journey. We’re excited for what the future holds and look forward to continuing to grow together.
