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 supplying other manufacturing companies within the industry.
The company’s customers are from a diverse range of industrial sectors, including automotive, lighting, domestic heating, aerospace, medical, telecommunications, agricultural and mass transit amongst others.
