The factory at 602 North 10th Street belonged to the U.S. Gasket Company at the time the 1947 Camden City Directory was compiled. By 1959 U.S. Gasket had become a division of the Garlock Packing Company, and the North Camden plant was involved with plastics. By 1970 the company was known as Garlock Inc. At
some point after 1982 the plant was acquired by Coltec Industries of
Charlotte, North Carolina. The factory remains open today, but has
operated with a skeleton crew in recent years.
