Anqing, China – February 2026 – Anqing CLING-SEAL Manufactory Co., Ltd. (“CLING-SEAL”), a leading manufacturer of industrial sealing solutions with over 20 years of expertise, today unveiled its 2026 export expansion plan, aiming to capitalize on the surging global demand for high-performance graphite gaskets in key industrial sectors. The strategy aligns with the latest market outlook indicating robust growth in the global industrial sealing industry, particularly in emerging economies and high-growth fields like new energy and petrochemicals.
Founded in 2005 and based in Anqing Economic and Technological Development Zone, CLING-SEAL has established a solid reputation for producing reliable sealing products, including graphite and carbon products, asbestos-free gaskets, and custom sealing solutions. With 10 patented technologies, ISO-compliant manufacturing processes, and a consistent A-level taxpayer credit rating for over a decade, the company has built a strong foundation for domestic success and is now poised to accelerate its global footprint.
“2026 marks a pivotal year for CLING-SEAL’s international expansion,” said Mr. Zhang Lei, Founder and Executive Director of CLING-SEAL. “We’ve closely monitored the global market trends, and the growing demand for high-quality graphite gaskets—driven by stricter environmental regulations, industrial equipment upgrades, and the rise of new energy industries—presents a significant opportunity for our team. Our goal is to become a trusted partner for global clients seeking cost-effective, durable sealing solutions.”
The company’s 2026 export strategy focuses on three key markets, leveraging regional growth drivers and trade agreements:
- ASEAN Region: As a core target, CLING-SEAL will tap into the region’s expanding petrochemical and manufacturing sectors. With local 建厂 (local factory construction) demand surging in countries like Indonesia and Vietnam, the company will offer tailored graphite gasket solutions for refineries and power plants, supported by timely delivery and on-site technical support.
- Middle East: Capitalizing on the region’s investments in oil & gas infrastructure and renewable energy projects (such as solar and hydrogen), CLING-SEAL will introduce its high-temperature resistant graphite gaskets, ideal for extreme working conditions in desalination plants and thermal power facilities.
- Mexico: Benefiting from the accelerated China-Mexico Free Trade Agreement negotiations and the region’s growing automotive and electronics industries, the company will launch a dedicated sales team to serve local assemblers and manufacturers, focusing on clean-grade graphite gaskets for lithium-ion battery production.
To support its export goals, CLING-SEAL has enhanced its production capacity for high-value graphite products, including flexible graphite gaskets and metal-reinforced graphite composites. These products meet international standards such as ASME B16.20 and ISO 3601, ensuring compatibility with global industrial equipment. Additionally, the company has strengthened its quality control system, with a focus on reducing leakage rates and improving product durability—key requirements for international clients.
Looking ahead to 2026, CLING-SEAL expects export revenue to grow by 25-30% year-on-year, contributing to 35% of its total annual revenue. The company also plans to participate in major international industrial exhibitions, including the Hannover Messe and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International Conference, to showcase its innovative sealing solutions and build partnerships with global distributors.
“Our expansion isn’t just about increasing sales—it’s about bringing Chinese manufacturing expertise to the world,” added Mr. Zhang. “With our proven track record of quality, patented technologies, and customer-centric approach, we’re confident in meeting the diverse needs of global clients and establishing CLING-SEAL as a leading name in the international graphite gasket market.”
