The Unique Company History Behind Hy-Tech Fittings

No matter how advanced our world becomes, curiosity is usually what drives any great invention. Since 1985, our engineers and scientists have employed an ongoing innovation quest. Hy-Tech fittings was initially a subsidiary of General Components, but now we are an independent company focusing on unique improvements that can be applied for Face Seal-style designs for the semiconductor industry. We’re proud of our history of major development milestones and how we serve the high-purity marketing sector working with research and development systems nationwide.
