Trim Parts’ CEO Mitch Williams stated “the addition of SoffSeal to our group is a logical extension of what some of our companies are already doing.

Additionally, all of our companies sell or use rubber of one type or another. We are pleased that the passion for classic cars that SoffSeal was born from will continue as an integral part of its future and very excited about such a prestigious brand joining Trim Parts.” The management team at SoffSeal will continue in their current roles with other responsibilities within the group to be added.
