Celebrating 26 years!

2024 sees Industrial Gaskets and Sealants celebrating 26 years in operation!

We are so grateful to our team, customers and suppliers who have supported us over this time.

Industrial Gaskets and Sealants was formed by three partners in a chicken shed in Raymond Terrace in 1998. We are now proud to be the biggest manufacturer of gaskets in the Hunter.


We’re still a family-owned business, now owned and operated by Joel Gardiner, son of one of the founders. 

Flange gaskets was our first product, and we now manufacture critical components of products used in larger infrastructure nationally and internationally, including:

  • High temperature silicone gaskets in the ventilation system at underground and open cut train stations in the NSW Government’s Sydney Metro upgrade, Australia’s biggest public transport project;
  • Neoprene rubber & compressed fibre gaskets in glass facades on buildings in North America; and
  • Plastic & steel shims along with compressed fibre gaskets in dewatering pumps in the Middle East.

We manufacture and re-sell premium quality gaskets, rubber products and sealing solutions to end users and other manufacturers throughout Australia. Many of our clients are fellow Hunter businesses. RMS boat registration stickers are also cut locally by IGS.

We use only the highest quality materials and products supplied from well-established businesses Australia wide. 


Our ISO accreditation has opened new markets and enables us to compete with larger companies in Sydney. 


Unlike larger businesses, our relatively smaller size allows us to cut materials on site; provide quicker lead times; and be flexible to meet customer needs. Reduced freight cost is another benefit for our many Hunter-based customers.

Industrial Gaskets and Sealants invests in the latest technology to meet our customers’ needs for precision, speed, and quality. Our machines include: 

  • Flow Mach 1 Waterjet Cutter, 4x2m cutting bed
  • Zund L-2500 knife blade cutting machine
  • Aristomat GL 2032-8 knife blade cutting machine
  • Multicam Trident CNC Router / Cutter

In owner Joel Gardiner’s words:


“ I’m proud to continue my father’s legacy and support other Hunter Valley and Australian manufacturers and infrastructure companies do their best work. It’s exciting to see the development of manufacturing over the years in our local patch at Heatherbrae, and throughout the Hunter region. ”

Let’s Seal the Deal!
