Flexitallic, based in Houston, Texas, is a leading global supplier of high-performance seals for industries such as energy and chemicals. These industries often have high safety standards. Flexitallic is known for the reliability and durability of its products, especially in extreme environments.

The acquisition is in line with the ‘Michelin in Motion 2030’ strategy. Based on this strategy, the Michelin Group is using its comprehensive expertise to tap into new, high-margin markets. Flexitallic is a very good strategic fit for the Group: both companies share the same commitment to innovation and product quality and are active worldwide – this creates synergies for future growth.

Michelin finances acquisition with cash reserves

With seventeen locations worldwide, Flexitallic produces an extensive range of composite seals, seal sheets and special fillers. The company employs around 1,200 people and generated sales of approximately €195 million in 2025.

The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of 2026, subject to customary adjustments and approval by the antitrust authorities. It will be financed entirely from available cash.
