Silcotech North America, a specialist in Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) injection moulding, has announced its expanding capacity with the purchase of two new injection moulding machine workcells.

Since its inception in 1995, TDL has been a trailblazer, especially in innovative solutions for mold design and mold manufacturing. Additionally, they have gained trusted partners based on their extensive experience and particularly their forward-thinking approach. Moreover, these business partners have come from various industries ranging from automotive components and consumer electronics to medical devices with TDL leaving its indelible marks on these various sectors.

Isolde Boettger, vice president and co-founder of Silcotech North America, said, “Michael’s technical experience, coupled with Arburg’s very solid and proven technology developments in LSR moulding technology, were superior when we made the decision to purchase our first two Arburg machines in 1998 when we started Silcotech North America. Looking back on our decision and evaluating the technology on a regular basis, it is clear Arburg was, and continues to be, the right decision for the competitive LSR space.”

“Twenty-five years ago, we set out to become a global leader of liquid silicone moulded parts. Having spent 17 years in a technical capacity with a world-renowned moulding machine manufacturer, injection moulding machines were part of my DNA,” he said.

“At that time there were only two significant players offering LIM options for their moulding machines – Arburg was one of them.”

Michael Maloney, Silcotech president, said that Arburg was chosen as the supplier of the new machines because of their long history of success providing machines for LSR applications.

The new machines will be used to expand capacity at Silcotech's headquarters in Bolton, Ontario.  They will be added to the existing fleet to handle growing business volume, and the new machines are sizes where increased capacity is needed, said Dan Morris, Business Development Manager at Silcotech.
