Allpax Gasket Cutter Systems Now Offers Complete Product Line

CHICOPEE — Allpax Gasket Cutter Systems, a division of Guardair Corp., announced a new, expanded line of extension-style gasket cutters, replacement parts, and accessories, including Zimmerman Spearhead brand-compatible products.

Allpax has broadened its extension-style gasket-cutter line beyond traditional brass (heavy-duty) models and now offers cutters featuring aluminum (medium-duty), plastic (light-duty), and phenolic (compact) construction. All kits include new, non-slip, self-healing cutting boards. Punch offerings have expanded beyond hollow punches to include arch, power, and dovetail types. Packing hooks are now available in 14 convenient sizes.

“Our newly expanded Allpax product line fills a void in the market to help end users meet their gasket-cutting needs through one manufacturer,” said Thomas Tremblay, president of Guardair Corp. “As part of the expansion, we have also upgraded our website, www.allpaxcorp.com, to include product specifications, how-to videos, and the ability to make purchases quickly and easily.”

Allpax Gasket Cutter Systems, founded in 1927, was incorporated into Guardair Corp. in 1999. In 2012, the assets of Allen Gasket Cutting Machine Co. were also acquired, adding rotary-style gasket cutters to the Allpax product line. Today, Allpax is the world’s largest manufacturer of gasket cutters, punches, and accessories used in the fabrication of flange gaskets. Allpax products are sold through a national and international network of more than 1,200 industrial MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) dealers and distributors. End users can also order product direct through the Allpax website. For more information, visit www.allpaxcorp.com.
