Specialists in the precision processing of high quality silicone rubber moulded and extruded products, Esco has attained exceptional production capability and design expertise
A highly focused manufacturing environment combined with proven experience in project management and research and development, have allowed Esco to expand way beyond its standard catalogue items, specialising in an ever-widening range of customised products.
Esco's precision, attention to detail, and rapid response to specialised customer requirements have recently come into their own in the chemical detection field with the successful development of a specialised membrane for devices monitoring the presence of chemical agents such as nerve gas.
The Esco team has worked closely with the device manufacturer to ensure the membrane works in perfect harmony with the sensory equipment to provide reliable and exact results.
Control of the demanding physical environment required for accurate detection is achieved as a result of the physical properties of silicone and the precise control of membrane thickness during manufacture.
Esco's customised service covers the complete package from conception through to final product, utilising the extensive additional facilities at Bibby Sterilin's plant in South Wales.
These include a Class 10,000 clean room facility, printing services, a dedicated mould maintenance tool room, a microbiology-testing laboratory, and CAD capabilities.
Extensive knowledge of legislative control and testing criteria has proved invaluable, particularly in the medical device sector - an area in which Esco are currently investing to expand the services they offer.
