OEM Component Manufacture

We have a wide range of specialist equipment at our Billericay manufacturing facility which allows us to produce a great variety of flexible fabricated OEM components.

Whether you need a 1 off special for development projects or batch production, we can handle it. All of our manufactured products are fully welded, tested and guaranteed in accordance with our ISO 9001 quality standards. We work with Butyl rubber, Polyurethane, PVC, EPDM rubber, Polypropylene, Elvaloy, Nitrile Rubber and Polyethylene in thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 3.00mm with a range of engineering equipment on site that allows us to incorporate metal attachments and detailing, such as eyelets and frames.

Example Small Batch Production Projects:

  • Nuclear Biological and Chemical Equipment. Up to 1,000 NBC Boots per month for the Ministry of Defence
  • Up to 20 Cellar liners per month in various sizes
  • Bespoke pressure vessel linings for development projects and up to 10 units per week for fire fighting applications worldwide
  • Bespoke tank linings for tank manufacturers and up to 10 units per week for Water Inspectorate Industry applications
  • Rubber boat prototypes for stress assessment for the RNLI

We are always keen to work with clients to develop components to meet their needs. Our expertise lies in producing 1 off prototypes and then through testing, development and tooling, moving to batch production.  

Vulcanising

We have the largest rubber vulcanising press in the world: We have a potential output of 2,000m² per day of prefabricated rubber panels, and one hit vulcanising capability for lengths up to 15m. The machine operates using heat and pressure over time to produce extremely strong, fully cured welded seams in both EPDM and Butyl rubber.

Hot Air and Hot Wedge Welding

Both Hot Air and Hot Wedge welding equipment can be used for fusion welding all of our thermoplastic materials (PP, PE, PU, PVC and PP).  This method of welding is fast and results in high strength welds.

High Frequency (Radio Frequency) Welding

Our state of the art HF welding machines use an electromagnetic charge and pressure to produce high quality welds up to 1.50m per hit. The machine is set on a fully automated track welder with an impressive 28.0m track.
