About us

Precision O-rings and elastomer seals — engineered in Germany since 1867.

Company building of C. Otto Gehrckens GmbH & Co. KG in Pinneberg

An open and fair exchange is important to us — in dealing with customers as well as with suppliers and employees. From this attitude, over generations, a company has grown that combines reliability and innovative strength.

What began in 1867 as a leather factory is today one of Europe's leading manufacturers of precision O-rings — still family-owned and rooted at its headquarters in Pinneberg.

From 15 decades of COG history.
