Daniel L Hertz, Jr - Founder, CEO 1958 - 2017
Seals Eastern was founded in 1958 by Daniel L Hertz, Jr., a mechanical
engineer and Army veteran. The Company was incorporated in 1960 as New
Jersey "C" corporation. Mr Hertz holds five US patents, was the 2007
recipient of the Melvin Mooney Award, served as a Chairman of the
American Chemical Society's Rubber Division, and has authored numerous

From its humble beginnings, Seals Eastern quickly differentiated
itself in the market place by providing superior product quality and
customer service.
Our founder established an essential guiding principle that remains in
the Company's DNA to this day:
"Rubber is an engineering material governed by the laws of
chemistry, thermodynamics, physics, and mechanics."
