FAQs
What does the acquisition of Premier Washers Limited mean for me as a buyer?
Stephens Gaskets has purchased the tooling and machinery from Premier Washers Limited, allowing us to manufacture all the same washers, pressings, and brackets – to the same or higher quality standards. If you previously bought from Premier Washers, we can now fulfil your requirements with the added benefit of increased capacity, faster lead times, and ISO-certified processes.
Can you supply the same components I used to buy from Premier Washers?
Yes. We’ve retained Premier Washers’ tooling library, which means we can produce identical or compatible parts based on your existing specs or drawings. We also offer re-engineering support if you need to make improvements or adjustments to older components.
Are Stephens Gaskets washers made in the UK?
Absolutely. We are a British manufacturer based in the West Midlands, and all of our non-standard washers and pressings are produced at our ISO 9001-certified facility. We’re proud to supply both UK and European markets with high-quality, British-made components.
