Dynamic Sealing Technologies (DSTI) is an American privately held company that designs, manufactures, and integrates fluid rotary union and swivel joint products. The company's rotary union products are used to transfer hydraulic oils, chemicals, water, air, and other various liquids and gasses from stationary inlets to rotating outlets. When assembled with electrical slip rings, the products can also transfer electrical power, signals, and data.

Its products have applications in aerospace and defense, alternative energy, construction and agriculture, factory automation, food and beverage, medical, oil and gas, plastic molding, and semiconductor industries.[1][2] The company is based in the Minneapolis suburb of Andover, Minnesota.[2]

History

[edit]

The company was founded in 2002.[2] In 2005, DSTI acquired Scott Rotary Seals (SRS) located in Olean, NY and in 2007, DSTI acquired Blakeslee Technologies, Inc. (BT).[3][4]

On January 27, 2012, DSTI held a ribbon cutting ceremony to open its recent expansion going from 36,000-square-feet to 80,000-square-feet allowing more space for manufacturing, quality inspection and shipping.[5] The event was attended by Gov. Mark Dayton, Rep. Tim Sanders, Rep. Peggy Scott, Sen. Michelle Benson and a number of officials from city government.

In 2014, DSTI packed 43,000 meals for Feed My Starving Children, a local non-profit dedicated to feeding children and adults worldwide. The company also partnered with the Memorial Blood Center in a one-day blood drive with over 50 percent participation from its employees.[6]

DSTI was named a StarTribune Top Workplace in 2013, 2015, 2019, 2020, and 2021.[7]

Subsea Well Response Project

[edit]

DSTI was selected to design and manufacture subsea swivels as part of the containment toolkit for the Subsea Well Response Project (SWRP). This was a joint initiative between several major oil and gas companies, including BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Petrobras, Shell, Statoil and Total to improve the prevention of, and response to, subsea well-control incidents.[8]
