Trelleborg Sealing Solutions announces a further investment of 8 EUR million in silicone manufacturing for life sciences. This will be made at the Stein am Rhein, Switzerland, facility acquired from Silcotech Group in April 2011, to triple the site’s cleanroom and increase overall manufacturing capacity by 30 percent.
With expertise in silicone applications for the medical device, biotech, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has been at the forefront of silicone manufacturing and design from the birth of this specialized elastomer. Following the acquisition of operations from Silcotech during 2011, the company now commands a globally coordinated market leading position with development, expertise and manufacturing in Europe, the U.S. and China.
“Life science is an important and growing market where our innovation, materials and manufacturing expertise can provide real value to customers. We are proud to say that Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has few, if any, competitors who can match our capacity, capability and expertise in silicone development and manufacturing,” says General Manager, Matthias Jakob. “This investment is a further step to us increasing our global footprint in liquid silicone parts for medical and pharmaceutical applications.”
In April 2011, Trelleborg acquired operations from within Silcotech Group that expanded the company’s know-how in clean room manufacturing of silicone components and in the production of silicone multi-component products for the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries. Silcotech’s technology gives Trelleborg capabilities in automated processes to produce precision parts in high volumes and components with very tight tolerances in liquid silicone.
Silcotech Group had a manufacturing operation in Stein am Rhein in Switzerland and joint venture operations in Pernik, in Bulgaria, Leganes, in Spain and Huizhou, in southern China. The acquisition encompasses the entire operation in Switzerland, including the manufacturing facility, as well as the joint ventures.
In the U.S., the silicone center of excellence for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is based in Massachusetts. The facility is FDA registered and ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accredited. It also has a certified ISO Class 7 clean room to help meet the industry’s stringent cleanliness standards.
Silicone is a premier material within elastomers with unique and advanced attributes. Specific to medical applications, its matchless bio-inertness makes it the most suitable elastomer when considering bacteria growth and alleviating contamination concerns. It is, perhaps, the most widely tested and proven material related to human compatibility. Additionally, silicone’s mechanical properties prove to be an excellent fit in dynamic applications such as pump tubing where accuracy, consistency and longevity are important determining performance factors.
