Cascade Gasket & Manufacturing Inc.

We manufacture molded rubber seals and die cut gaskets for over 250 companies in the aerospace market. As the gasket business grew with the help of the Port of Seattle, PAC CAR, and The Boeing Company, Cascade Gasket was able to move to a larger location, afford more people and, of course, more gasket presses. The 50’s also brought a chance for Cascade Gasket to expand their product line to include compression rubber molding. One little known fact was that Cascade Gasket was the first manufacturer of shim stock in the northwest. The 1960’s were a turning point in the product line of Cascade Gasket. Cascade Gasket’s product line would again shift to include this intricate handcrafted manufacturing process. The business was growing, and in 1987 a new office was built to house the customer support staff. With the new ISO requirements, the onset of Lean Manufacturing Principles, and the overall potential of new business, Lee realized that again things needed to change.
