Our Role in the Global Marketplace
 
In the global marketplace, SEI has cultivated a unique, innovative capability not readily found elsewhere in the world by designing, engineering and manufacturing products from industrial fabrics.  These fabrics provide advantages not available with products made from traditional rigid materials.  With an emphasis on customer-driven features such as collapsibility, transportability and quick set-up, SEI Industries has found itself at the forefront of product design for a variety of applications related to liquid containment and handling. 
 
Other SEI capabilities include the design and manufacturing of pumping/filtration units as well as technical problem-solving using our proprietary new-generation, high-strength, lightweight fabrics.  SEI also excels at creating specialized power generation and liquid transfer systems.

SEI’s customer base includes oil and mineral exploration companies, aviation companies, government agencies, military forces, the United Nations, relief agencies, original equipment manufacturers and Fortune 500 companies.  Our customers operate in many sectors including:
Disaster relief agencies
Government and military peacekeeping deployment operations
Resource base exploration activities, and
Environmental primary/secondary containment industry.
Today, SEI Industries’ many product groups reflect this widespread diversity centered around a common theme of innovative industrial fabrics.
