TRANSATLANTIC SEALING PARTNERSHIP

Sealed by design.
Built together.

Bode GmbH engineers custom elastomer compounds and seal geometry in EPDM, FKM, and NBR, refined over 100+ years in Germany. LeRoy Tool builds the molds and runs CNC and EDM production in Michigan. Together, they turn a drawing into an ISO 9001-certified, production-validated seal.

THE PARTNERSHIP

German materials science. American tooling.

Compound formulation, seal geometry, mold engineering, and injection molding all run through one point of contact. Both sides operate under ISO 9001 quality systems, from the first sketch to a validated production part.

PROCESS

One program, start to finish

Four steps, one job traveler. Each is owned by the partner built for it.

01

Compound & Geometry

Custom EPDM, FKM, and NBR compounds engineered with precision seal geometry for the application's pressure, temperature, and media requirements.

02

Mold Engineering

CNC and wire/sinker EDM tool building, mold validation, and engineering changes, all handled in-house.

03

Prototyping

Fast-turn prototype tooling and sample parts to validate fit, function, and moldability before full production.

04

North American Run

Production molding on the ground in Michigan means shorter lead times, simpler logistics, and direct support for North American customers.

APPLICATIONS

Sealing systems by industry

Drinking Water & Sanitary

Hygiene-grade EPDM seals engineered for potable water and sanitary infrastructure.

Gas & Industrial

Gas-resistant NBR and specialty elastomer compounds for industrial gas supply systems.

Wastewater

Standard lip and fixed seals engineered for plastic sewage and wastewater piping.

Automotive

Precision-molded elastomer components built to Tier-2 automotive supplier specifications.
