Silicone Engineering was established in Blackburn in 1959, moving to its present site in 1988. In 2002 the company returned to limited company status by way of a management led team. This has been a very positive move for the company in allowing a more direct management style to be applied to both day-to-day operations and longer term plans.
Silicone Engineering has achieved over its 50 years of trading a positive reputation throughout Europe and America as a leading manufacturer of silicone rubber products in the form of sheeting, extrusions and mouldings and gaskets in cellular sponge and solid grades. More recently it has developed as a silicone rubber compounder for other manufacturing companies within the industry.
Silicone Engineering's continued commitment to reinvesting profits back into the company has enabled it to finance and develop new product ranges such as a variety of sheeting and fabric combinations in supported and unsupported, cured and uncured form.
The company’s customers are from a broad range of industrial sectors, including automotive, lighting, domestic heating, aerospace, medical, telecommunications, agricultural and mass transit amongst others.
The operating philosophy of Silicone Engineering is firmly based on “continuous improvement”. To expand on continuous improvement, Silicone Engineering support customers from design stage through to after sales service with cost effective solution and support. By working closely with our key suppliers we achieve this level of service.
Customers have a right to expect products and services that meet their needs and specifications at costs that represent good value.
Silicone Engineering has formed strong second and third party accreditation approvals with many worldwide clients including BSI for our ISO9001:2000, Rolls Royce and GKN Westland.
Silicone Engineering has the capabilities to develop, formulate, mix and approve formulations in-house. Currently the mixing facilities are producing 1200 tons of compound per year and with further investment undertaken in 2008, Silicone Engineering will emerge as the major custom compounder in Europe.Online Credit Card Payment Processing
