“An established company with the heart of a start-up” - that’s the motto that ZAGO’s Vice President, Gail Freidberg, sees for the company.

Since starting in 1993, ZAGO has grown from a “mom and pop” business in New Jersey to an international business serving industries including the military, aerospace, construction and environmental protection.

“Business is all about change, and ZAGO not only reacts to change but embraces change,” according to Gail Freidberg.

As environmental issues become more pressing to the public and to business, ZAGO has invested heavily in sustainability - making them the go-to supplier for alternative energy businesses.

Solar panels, marine turbines, and other sustainable energy sources rely on ZAGO for solid sealing solutions - and buyers can satisfy their environmental priorities at a competitive price thanks to ZAGO’s own commitment to the environment.

Their range of self-sealing fasteners contain no ‘conflict minerals’ - resources mined from a conflict zone and sold to fund, and often prolong, catastrophic war and fighting.

The products work for the good of the environment, blocking contaminants like oil and gas from escaping into the air.  They are compliant with the EU’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, and with California Proposition 65 - a revolutionary initiative, voted for by the people of California, to protect the people and their drinking water from toxins.

ZAGO’s facility uses power from a 200 solar panel array to reduce energy costs, and the company has a strong commitment to recycling and the reduction of waste, and offers an efficient eco-friendly business that ensures their clients can meet their environmental targets whilst keeping their costs in check.

By encouraging and educating a new generation of engineers, ZAGO continues to foster new ideas and solutions, new materials, and new ways of increasing commitment to recycling within the industry.

Initiatives such as education programmes, scholarships, and taking part in the “Introduce a Girl to Engineering” day encourage young people to choose a STEM or manufacturing career.  In fact, the company has just been given a Companies that Care award from the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey, recognising the work that ZAGO has done in schools to encourage the next generation of manufacturing talent.

And ZAGO was one of the smallest companies to be represented at the US Women in Manufacturing Summit.

As with all of Nexus’ suppliers, the cornerstone of ZAGO’s business is customisation - and ensuring that clients get the exact sealing solution to meet their needs and fit in with their overall design - including decisions around dimensions, materials, colour identification, and threading.
