Monday, March 26, 2012

2 g( l7 c% r/ NYork, PA - GW Silicones, a division of international custom precision injection molder and contract manufacturer GW Plastics, is in the final stages of a three million dollar expansion of its Royalton, VT liquid silicone rubber molding operation, adding both cleanroom manufacturing space and new Engel injection molding equipment. GW Silicones has outgrown their original class 8 cleanroom molding and assembly facility, and is undergoing a 15,000 square foot expansion that will provide space for up to 18 new injection molding machines. The entire facility (scalable up to 25,000 sq. ft.) is devoted to cleanroom LSR molding and assembly. “Having reached our current manufacturing capacity, we needed to add additional injection molding systems to meet new business demands. This meant expanding our facility to match the growth of our LSR business,” states Mark Hammond, general manager of GW Silicones.
