When production can't wait, you need a supplier you can rely on.

Unexpected production issues can quickly become costly if your supplier isn't responsive.

That's why we focus on more than simply manufacturing silicone extrusions.

We work alongside our customers to solve technical challenges, respond quickly when urgent requirements arise and help keep production moving.

It's rewarding to receive feedback like this from a customer who has experienced that support first-hand.

Whether you need a bespoke silicone extrusion, technical guidance or a supplier that responds when it matters most, our team is here to help.

Working with a UK manufacturer that has more than 10,000 existing extrusion tools can make the development and ordering process much simpler.

When you send us a drawing, sample or set of dimensions, we can search our tooling library to see whether we already have a die that matches, or closely matches, your requirements.

Using an existing tool may help to eliminate tooling costs and reduce development time, helping your project become a reality.

Manufacture is on the South Coast of England, at our Littlehampton factory, and you are welcome here onsite, just book in with the sales team for a factory tour or face to face meeting.

Send us your enquiry, drawing or sample and we will check what tooling may already be available.

Why silicone grades matter more than you might think.

Different applications require different material properties. Factors such as operating temperature, chemical exposure, flexibility, hardness, and industry compliance all influence which grade is the right fit.

Choosing an unsuitable material can result in premature failure, increased maintenance, or products that don't meet regulatory requirements.

At Advanced Materials, we work closely with customers to understand the application before recommending the most appropriate silicone grade. Whether it's
food production, transport, industrial manufacturing or another demanding environment, our technical team helps ensure every extrusion is manufactured to perform as intended.

The right material selection from the outset can improve reliability, reduce downtime and help avoid costly redesigns later.

If you're unsure which silicone grade is right for your application, we're here to help.

What Happens Before a Silicone Extrusion Reaches Production?

Most people see the finished silicone extrusion. Few see the manufacturing process behind it.

Every extrusion starts with a custom silicone compound, mixed to the specific requirements of the application and customer requirements. Catalysts, pigments and additives are carefully incorporated before the material is prepared for production.

The process then includes:

✔ Material preparation and mixing
✔ Precision extrusion through a dedicated tool
✔ Initial curing in hot air tunnel
✔ Post-curing in controlled ovens
✔ Final inspection before dispatch

Because every application is different, we manufacture to order rather than supplying products from stock.

This approach helps ensure consistent quality, repeatable performance and silicone components that meet the requirements of demanding industrial and regulated applications.

More Than Just Manufacturing

One of the reviews we're most proud to receive is about the support we provide before production even begins.

Working closely with customers at the design stage helps ensure the right material, profile, and manufacturing approach are selected from the outset.

It's all part of helping projects run more smoothly from concept through to production.

It turns out our Managing Director, Gareth, isn't just great at leading the business - he’s also our ultimate desert island survival partner! 🏝️🪵

Jokes aside, Jill's answer perfectly highlights the fantastic relationship our team shares. It's rare to have an MD with both the leadership skills and the personality to keep team spirits high, whether in the office or stranded on an island!

We are incredibly grateful for Gareth and the brilliant, close-knit team we have at Advanced Materials.

Meet the Team: Sue Vincent

Sue joined Advanced Materials in 2015 and is a key member of our Customer Service team, helping customers with enquiries, orders, and project requirements.

When asked what she wishes more people understood about her role, Sue said:
"Many people are surprised to learn that we don't keep stock on the shelf. Everything we manufacture is made to order, and we can produce bespoke seals and silicone profiles to meet individual customer requirements."

And when asked: What would you say is your personal approach to customer service?

I am always friendly and try to help in any way I can. When customers say they cannot find a suitable profile on our website, I ask for more information, such as shape and dimensions. I will go through our existing tools and find something as close as I can. I will check whether we have any production samples I can send off for their evaluation.

Thank you, Sue, for your dedication and commitment to supporting our customers over the last decade.
