Trelleborg bought Orkot and a number of other precision seal firms from London-based Smiths Group PLC in the deal that closed Oct. 1. Orkot, established in Eugene in 1990, has about 20 employees at its local factory. Under the large new owners, the Eugene factory may be able to boost sales, said Dan Gaskill, the plant's manager. Orkot is a tiny unit of 21,000-employee Trelleborg, and the conglomerate is unlikely to tinker much with Orkot's operations, Gaskill added. With annual sales of about $2.9 billion, Trelleborg said it bought the seal firms because they fit well with Trelleborg's automotive businesses. Smiths said it sold the seal firms in order to focus on medical and defense work. Orkot was founded in England in 1952, and the owners picked Eugene to start up a U.S. factory, Gaskill said.
