Sealcon | X-ON
Hanspeter Spühler, the man who founded the company Sealcon
immigrated to the United States of America in 1968 from Switzerland by passenger ship
He was fortunate to meet friends who helped him get settled in Denver, CO where he found a job with an engineering company. He worked as design engineer, and after completing his MBA, became the product manager in the marketing department.
It wasn't until he started a distribution company for pneumatic products that he had the idea to find a German supplier of liquid tight strain relief fittings and electrical cables.
Sealcon, LLC was founded by him in 1989 after receiving the exclusive import rights from Hummel. Originally, he had the office and warehouse in his basement, but as they continued to grow, he was able to purchase more space.
The initial response was overwhelming and Sealcon expanded with distributors and representatives across the U.S. and Canada.
Their Business forkliftToday, Sealcon is still family owned and operated by Daniel Spühler, and is the leading supplier of Hummel strain relief fittings and connectors. They also work with Hi-Tech Controls to sell cable from the German manufacturer Helukabel.
