Dowty Seals
Dowty Seals
Founded in 1945, with Dowty Equipment to develop and produce synthetic rubber seals
Then in 1947, Dowty transferred to the old fodder store building at Ashchurch, Nr. Tewkesbury and then in the late 1960’s a new factory was constructed where production continued at pace.
Dowty Seals also had sites in Newtown and Milford Haven, South Wales and Malta.
At its peak, Dowty Seals manufactured over 8,000,000 seals, rubber and plastic mouldings each week for a wide range of industrial and aircraft applications.
