Fel-Pro was established in 1918 by Albert Mecklenburge and Hugo Herz in Skokie, Illinois. The company was named Felt Products due to the fact that their first products were made of felt, manufacturing items like horse blankets. Shortly after, Fel-Pro found its niche as a supplier for the Ford Model T and A. Manufacturing gaskets and washers, it wasn’t long before Fel-Pro distinguished itself as a top gasket maker of copper clad gaskets. Soon after, Fel-Pro began to design metal gaskets, which later turned into rubber gaskets.
Owned as a private family business, Fel-Pro’s gaskets had a 97 percent fill-rate and were seen as a top gasket. Selling gaskets, sealants, and adhesives, all products were inspected and rechecked before they were shipped out. In 1998, Fel-Pro was bought by Federal-Mogul, a company who has been around for well over a hundred years, where they still aim to produce quality gaskets and seals for “vehicle engine repair, leak repair and system specific repair.”
Fel-Pro gaskets are designed to fit and operate with the same quality as an OEM part. They can fit passenger cars, trucks, heavy-duty vehicle, and marine vehicles. Currently, Fel-Pro offers a multi-layer-steel gasket (MLS) as well as molded rubber gaskets, and can fit as a valve stem gasket, oil pan gasket, head gasket, and more.
