Wolar1313 Lombardy Street, Houston, Texas, United States

In 1992 Jaime Lara, a hard-working Hispanic father of four, took a giant leap of faith and set out to prove to the world he would be a successful ring gasket manufacturer. With no business plan and only the trust and loyalty of his early investors and Employees, Wolar would become the largest ring gasket manufacturer in the United States.

A lot has changed in the past 25 years. We have opened distribution warehouses in Canada and in Singapore. Our industries operate under tighter restrictions and our products have become commodities. We have learned to manufacture new products and how to innovate new ways of manufacturing and sourcing the products Wolar was founded on.

Through all these changes and as the second generation now leads the Company, the values embedded in the heart and roots of the organization have remained the same. As a family-owned business we feel a great sense of pride and responsibility to use our business as a way to change the world.
