Since 1964, Safety Seal has been at the forefront of tire-repair technology. When Alec W. Niconchuk founded North Shore Laboratories and developed the first self-vulcanizing on-the-wheel repair, Safety Seal quickly became a leader in the industry. More than one billion Safety Seal repairs have been sold worldwide, earning a reputation for reliability, ease of use, and long-lasting performance.

Research and testing have always driven the brand. The original Safety Seal Tire Repair Kit underwent three years of field and laboratory testing before reaching the market. That commitment to quality never stopped — today’s Safety Seal repairs are more than 300% stronger than the first generation, and innovations like Safety Seal Plus and The Liquid Patch continue to set new standards in tire repair effectiveness.

After decades of family-owned leadership, Safety Seal entered a new chapter in 2025 by joining MARTINS Industries — a global manufacturer present in over 70 countries and known for its tire equipment, tire supplies, tire handling solutions, and balancing technologies. This integration reinforces Safety Seal’s heritage with the manufacturing strength, global distribution, and customer-focused innovation of MARTINS.

As part of MARTINS Industries, Safety Seal remains dedicated to providing trusted tire repair solutions built on proven performance, continuous improvement, and a long history of innovation. The brand’s legacy continues — now supported by the worldwide reach and technical expertise of a global industry leader.
