Magnum Gaskets Supports Customer Growth in Specialty Aftermarket Segments

The range of Magnum Gaskets offered by MSI (Modern Silicone Technologies Inc.) extends far beyond applications for traditional passenger cars and light duty trucks. Magnum’s innovative designs, modern sealing technology and unsurpassed quality have made inroads into the pickup truck diesel, heavy-duty diesel and high performance vehicle segments. Whether the task is replacing fuel injectors on a Ford Powerstroke Diesel, changing an oil pan on a Caterpillar C7, or preparing a GM LS motor for the next trip to the drag strip, Magnum has the gaskets to cover it.

“We at Magnum Gaskets, along with many of our customers, have recognized excellent growth opportunities in non-traditional segments of the aftermarket,” said Derek Data, Magnum’s vice-president. “Working with diesel and high performance engines comes naturally to our staff. Our gasket engineers have many years of personal experience in performance engine build-ups and MSI is one of the few companies in the world with the huge molding presses required to successfully manufacture the large format, complex gaskets found on today’s diesel engines.”

Magnum’s light duty diesel applications, including GM Duramax V8, Ford Powerstroke V8 and Dodge/Ram/Cummins B Series, are an integral part of Magnum’s extensive online eCatalog. Magnum Performance Gaskets and Magnum Heavy Duty Gaskets each have their own special paper catalog, geared toward the specific engine information needed to make those specialized part selections.

For almost twenty years, Magnum’s parent company, Modern Silicone Technologies Inc. (MSI), has been the premier supplier of hi-tech molded rubber, plastic and metal gaskets to major aftermarket brands and OEM.
