Victor Reinz: Over a Century of OE Sealing Excellence

Few names in the automotive world carry the weight of Victor Reinz. The brand traces its origins to two pioneering stories: Hugo Reinz, who began manufacturing gaskets in Germany and became a technology leader, and the Victor brothers, who produced the world's first cylinder head gasket at their factory in Chicago. When Dana Incorporated brought these two legacies together, the Victor Reinz brand was born — a union that fused German engineering precision with deep American manufacturing expertise.

Today, Victor Reinz is operated by REINZ-Dichtungs-GmbH, a subsidiary of Dana Incorporated headquartered in Neu-Ulm, Germany, employing nearly 1,100 specialists dedicated to sealing technology. The brand supplies virtually every major engine manufacturer in the world, and its products are recognized as original equipment on countless vehicles — from everyday passenger cars to agricultural machinery, marine engines, and industrial equipment.

What sets Victor Reinz apart is its unwavering commitment to engineering. Modern engines face increasingly demanding conditions: higher temperatures, more aggressive fluids, and tighter tolerances. Victor Reinz meets these challenges by developing sealing solutions using advanced materials — from high-quality elastomer compounds and multi-layer steel (MLS) construction to proprietary sealants like REINZOSIL and REINZOPLAST, engineered specifically for high-stress sealing environments. The brand also actively participates in shaping international sealing standards through DIN and CEN, ensuring their products remain at the cutting edge of the industry.
