ENGLEWOOD, NJ —  Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) toured APM Hexseal, a long-standing Englewood manufacturer that has been designing and producing high-performance sealing solutions for military, aerospace, medical, and industrial applications since 1947. The visit was facilitated by the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP).

Founded by Milton and Riva Solins Morse, APM Hexseal has deep roots in American defense manufacturing, helping develop military specifications for equipment protection during World War II and supplying components used in every U.S. military conflict since the company’s founding. Today, the company continues to design and manufacture its products domestically at its Englewood facility, holding more than one hundred patents and serving more than two hundred thousand customers worldwide.

“APM Hexseal is exactly the kind of American success story we should be fighting to protect and grow,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “They’ve been building world-class products right here in Englewood for nearly eighty years — supplying our military, our industries, and customers across the globe. My job is to make sure companies like this have every tool they need to keep manufacturing in New Jersey and keep good jobs here at home.”

During the tour, Gottheimer met with company leadership and staff to discuss the challenges facing small manufacturers in Northern Jersey, including rising health insurance costs, access to capital through SBA lending programs, tariff uncertainty, supply chain pressures, and the need to ease burdensome guardrails.
