Boyd Continues to Strengthen Core Environmental Sealing Business

MODESTO, CALIF. – Boyd Corporation, a leading global provider of engineered, specialty material-based energy management and sealing solutions, today announced it has completed the purchase of Spec Seals, a specialty o-ring manufacturer. The newly acquired business now operates as a specialty sealing division under the Boyd brand – a name that carries almost 100 years of tradition and vision.

This strategic addition, with operations in Anaheim, California and Chicago, Illinois, helps to compliment and further differentiate Boyd’s existing strengths in advanced environmental sealing solutions for critical applications across a wide variety of demanding industries like passenger automotive, commercial vehicle, agriculture and construction equipment, medical device, aerospace and various industrial markets.
