About Schlegel EMI

Schlegel EMI has been a trusted industry partner since it invented highly conductive fabric over foam shielding gaskets in 1987. That was a breakthrough for the electromagnetic interference shielding of electronic enclosures and helped position the company as the pre-eminent manufacturer of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding products.

SEM offers a full range of EMI shielding products, including FOF gaskets, Absorbers, Elastomers, Thermal Interface Materials, I/O backplane shielding gaskets, BeCu Fingerstock, Conductive foams, conductive tapes, and laminates. These enable the computer, telecommunications, military, medical, and electronics industries to meet global requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Plus, their new line of Weatherstripping PolyFab products.

From concept to production, SEM’s complete portfolio of shielding products combines highly conductive materials with flexible foams and coatings to provide the latest EMI containment solutions. The company’s world-renowned EMI shielding gaskets are available in hundreds of profiles and unique designs, with attachment options that include mechanical self-attaching, clip, rivet, and a variety of pressure-sensitive adhesives.
