GW Plastics (Bethel, Vt.) is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its GW Silicones subsidiary, which the company describes as a state-of-the-art operation offering highly-automated Class 8 cleanroom tooling, molding and assembly.

Here’s more from GW Plastics about GW Silicones’ history.

“When GW Plastics made the decision in 2008 to open GW Silicones and offer liquid injection molding (LIM), they knew they needed to be completely committed. GW Plastics invested in the critical expertise and technology that a successful LIM business requires in order to extend their industry-leading design and manufacturing capabilities and seamlessly integrate GW Silicones into their robust technical portfolio. GW Plastics hired two highly-experienced LIM industry veterans, Mark Hammond and Jeff Hazen, to launch GW Silicones and ensure that the new division would meet the high standard of expertise and service GW’s customers expect. Starting with just one molding machine in GW Plastics’ Process Development Center, Hammond and Hazen quickly grew GW Silicones into a trusted partner supplying market leaders with precision silicone solutions. Since its inception 10 years ago, GW Silicones has completed three expansions, including a Class 8 ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified cleanroom.”
