Consultative approach aimed at reducing total production costs

A key strength that sets General Silicones apart is the soft power and expertise of its specialists and R&D team, who take ownership of customer products as consultants. They often reverse engineer designs, then identify where silicone can be most beneficial, in order to optimize designs and reduce total production costs. The team also focuses on developing long-term partnerships with customers, ensuring continuous success.

These high standards span from the initial design phase to quality management, and the company's materials expertise is significant enough to handle various parts of the silicone supply chain. One subsidiary handles the distribution of silicone for raw materials suppliers, and General Silicones also has its own Compo-SiL® brand, a proprietary, patented silicone material.
