Magnum Gaskets,
an MSI brand, has announced plans for a major product line expansion in
the fourth quarter of 2012, which the company says will more than
double the gasket sales potential for Magnum’s aftermarket distribution
partners.

 

“Magnum’s entry into the premium-quality head gasket/head set market is
the most important change to the gasket supply landscape in more than 30
years,” said Alex Grunfeld, Magnum’s vice president. “The fourth
quarter introduction coincides perfectly with the opening of our new,
state-of-the-art facility in Pinellas Park, Fla.”

 

“Our expert gasket engineers have created a broad range of head gaskets
and head sets that match the superior levels of performance and value
our customers have already come to expect from Magnum,” added Derek
Data, Magnum’s director of strategic development. “You will see coverage
for the most popular domestic and import vehicles, utilizing several
exclusive, application-specific gasket constructions.”

 

For nearly 20 years, Magnum’s parent company, Modern Silicone
Technologies Inc. (MSI), has manufactured gaskets for major aftermarket
brands and original equipment manufacturers. More than 90 percent of
Magnum products are designed, manufactured and packaged in the U.S.
According to the company, the current Magnum Gasket line covers more
than 80 percent of sales in manifold, valve cover and oil pan gasket
categories for domestic and import cars and light trucks.  

 

The gasket sets contain everything the technician will need for a
successful repair and every part meets or exceeds OEM standards, the
company says. Sets are packaged in durable boxes with informative
tri-lingual labels and installation guides.
