SAS Industries, Inc. (SAS) began at a small storefront in Wantagh, NY during 1973. SAS's original work centered around building gaskets for new sewers being built in the area, mainly gaskets for manhole covers. SAS would soon grow to service many local plumbing suppliers as well. At the time the company operated with a few die cutting presses and eventually expanded to a small warehouse in Farmingdale, NY.
