From skin-friendly fitness tracker wristbands to colourful children’s toys, from electronic gadgets to abrasion-resistant sports equipment, from the extremely hard-wearing aerospace seals to velvety-smooth cosmetics packaging – at first glance, these products have nothing in common. Only when you get very close to the surface does the connecting element reveal itself: silicon.

A few examples? Here we go: Our technology lends silicon a high-quality look. At the same time, it fulfils the highest functional requirements – from chemical resistance to exceptional feel. A new trend: various printing processes such as pad printing, screen printing and digital printing are increasingly being used in silicone processing.

This opens up completely new design possibilities.

From baby bottles to space travel – at Silcos we coat, print and finish silicone surfaces using innovative processes such as siloptics® and state-of-the-art printing techniques. This is how we create durable, aesthetic and functional products for every industry – with attention to detail and an unbridled spirit of development.

Where there’s silicon, there’s us: Silcos

We make surfaces beautiful and give them sensational abilities. Every silicone part can be custom-printed, painted and finished by us. To help us do this, we have developed our very own innovative techniques and processes and thus expanded the possibilities for surface modification enormously in recent years.

A few examples? Here we go: Our siloptics® PVD technology lends plastics a high-quality, metallic look. At the same time, it fulfils the highest functional requirements – from chemical resistance to exceptional feel. A new trend: various printing processes such as pad printing, screen printing and digital printing are increasingly being used in silicone processing.

This opens up completely new design possibilities.

Our response? Yes!

Whether our parts are flying through space or shining in baby bottles, they set new standards in terms of design and functionality. Aesthetics, variety, feel, sustainability, individuality and longevity? Our answer is always yes and of course there’s the perfect finish on top, whether high-gloss or semi-gloss, you decide. That’s why we are everywhere – in all products, sectors and industries. And where we are not yet today, we will be tomorrow. This is because the great versatility of silicone, combined with our specialised surface expertise and our irrepressible developer spirit, opens up new horizons.

We can tell you …

Just between us, we call our production facility the Silicone Valley of Germany. Creative air pervades our spaces and the electrifying tingle just before the innovative breakthrough can be felt in every nook and cranny. We simply love what we do. And most of all we love tinkering together until another “superficial” vision has seen the light of day. Let’s go! Anything is possible with us.
