GPT Industries is a global provider of critical pipeline insulation sealing solutions, electrical insulation products, and remote asset integrity monitoring solutions.

Pikotek is a flagship brand under GPT Industries. Its product portfolio includes the PGE, VCS, VCFS, VCSID and other series. In 1981, Pikotek introduced the industry’s first high-pressure insulating gasket, VCS; in 2010, it launched the first fire-safe insulating gasket, VCFS; and in 2011, the first chemically resistant insulating gasket, VCSID. Over the decades, Pikotek has built an outstanding reputation in the insulating gasket industry and has become synonymous with quality and reliability. Through continuous innovation and technological breakthroughs, Pikotek has developed truly next-generation products that remain highly favored by leading companies across multiple industries.

As the oil and gas industry faces increasingly harsh operating conditions—such as high temperature, high pressure, and high H₂S content—combined with the inherent structural and temperature limitations of GRE materials, GPT Industries invested years of research and development and, in 2018, introduced a new trademarked brand: Evolution®. Now positioned as our primary insulating gasket kit solution, Evolution® features a unique 4-in-1 design concept that integrates the strengths of four Pikotek product families while eliminating the use of GRE materials in the central gasket component. This innovative design has earned the trust of customers worldwide, and to date, Evolution® products have obtained more than 60 international test certifications.
