Heritage and History
Fel-Pro was founded in 1918 in Skokie, Illinois, beginning with simple gaskets and growing into the most comprehensive gasket manufacturing operation in the United States. The company developed proprietary materials and sealing technologies that gave mechanics and engine builders confidence that their engine rebuilds would seal properly.
Fel-Pro's acquisition by Federal-Mogul and subsequently Tenneco has not changed the Skokie manufacturing heritage or the technical standards that made the brand the professional mechanic's choice for engine gaskets. When engine builders want gaskets that will seal correctly the first time and last the life of the engine, Fel-Pro is the specification that gets written into the job.
Made in Skokie, Illinois
Fel-Pro engineers and manufactures all engine gaskets at its Skokie, Illinois facility, using proprietary materials and precision manufacturing processes. The head gasket — the most critical seal in an engine, separating coolant passages from combustion chambers — is where Fel-Pro's technology provides the greatest advantage.
Proprietary Fel-Pro materials for specific applications — embossed stainless steel fire rings for high-compression applications, rubber-coated metal with compression limiters for engines prone to over-tightening — represent real engineering solutions to specific sealing challenges. For rebuilds on high-performance or high-mileage engines where proper sealing is critical, Fel-Pro provides the American-made reliability that professional engine builders trust.
