The European Sealing Association (ESA) is a pan-European organisation, established in 1992 and representing over 85% of<br />
the fluid <strong>seal</strong>ing market in Europe. Member Companies are involved in the manufacture, supply and use of <strong>seal</strong>ing materials,<br />
crucial components in the <strong>safe</strong> containment of fluids during processing and use.<br />
The Fluid Sealing Association (FSA) is an international trade association, founded in 1933. Members are involved in the<br />
production and marketing of virtually every kind of fluid <strong>seal</strong>ing device available today. FSA membership includes a number<br />
of companies in Europe and Central and South America, but is most heavily concentrated in North America. FSA Members<br />
account <strong>for</strong> almost 90% of the manufacturing capacity <strong>for</strong> fluid <strong>seal</strong>ing devices in the NASFTA market.<br />
