Location: Valencia, CA

Product: Neotech Bridge® Breastfeeding Assistance Device

Silcotech Solution: The new Neotech Bridge is designed to help mothers worldwide with breastfeeding immediately after childbirth. It features a thin, silicone nipple cover, with a built-in channel that attaches to a syringe.

Neotech acquired the product line and technology from the original inventor company and immediately planned to scale up production and worked closely with Silcotech to achieve this.

Silcotech drew on its years of experience in baby feeding products, including baby nursing shields, to mold this revolutionary product. Silcotech invested in the design and built a 2-cavity “Sealing” tool, which was an insert over mold in which two breast shields were inserted and the fluid channel was sealed in a full injection molding process.

While initially targeting hospitals, Neotech is now also focused on the retail space as well. And since taking over the product, Neotech continues to grow sales each year.

Silcotech Expands LSR Molding Capacity

With Purchase of Two New Arburg Injection Molding Machine Workcells

New Machines will be Used for LIM/LSR Applications at Company’s Bolton, Ontario Headquarters

Bolton, ON Canada (February 6, 2024) . . . Silcotech North America, a global leader in Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) injection molding, has announced it is expanding capacity with the purchase of two new injection molding machine workcells.

The two new Arburg machines include a 110 US ton ALLROUNDER 470 A 1000 – 290 Comfort, and a 220 US ton ALLROUNDER 570 A 2000 – 400 Comfort. Both are all-electric machines specified with LIM/LSR molding options as well as thermoplastic molding capabilities. They will both be equipped with MULTILIFT SELECT 8 servo electric robotics for parts removal and manipulation. Delivery is scheduled for summer 2024.

The new machines will be used to expand capacity at Silcotech’s headquarters in Bolton, Ontario. They will be added to the existing fleet to handle growing business volume, and the new machines are sizes where increased capacity is needed, said Dan Morris, Business Development Manager at Silcotech.

“Silcotech’s business has seen growth in the 15% to 20% per year range over the past two years and the outlook is to keep that pace that in FY2024 and beyond,” said Morris.

Michael Maloney, Silcotech President, said that Arburg was chosen as the supplier of the new machines because of their long history of success providing machines for LSR applications. “Twenty-five years ago, we set out to become a global leader of liquid silicone molded parts. Having spent 17 years in a technical capacity with a world-renowned molding machine manufacturer, injection molding machines were part of my DNA,” he said. “At that time there were only two significant players offering LIM options for their molding machines – Arburg was one of them.”

“Our decision to move forward with Arburg was clearly based on our history of success using their machines,” he continued. “Their machines feature a sound mechanical design coupled with a very progressive control system.”
