Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)
Excelling in molding silicone
Your Trusted Partner in Liquid Silicone Molding for Medical Devices.
Since 2005, EPTAM has been a vertically integrated injection molding partner serving medical/healthcare, industrial, consumer, and defense markets. We support the full product lifecycle – from rapid prototyping and tool development through validation, production molding, and value-added operations – with experienced engineers, technicians, and quality managers across silicone and thermoplastic programs.
Our collaborative approach combines deep expertise in micro-molding, multi-material, and insert molding with a genuine understanding of your design and manufacturing requirements. Scalability is built in, whether you need development support or immediate high-volume production.
From rapid prototyping through full-scale validated production, each stage is designed to move in sync with the last. Because in LSR and thermoplastic molding – where material behavior, tooling precision, and process control are inseparable –
consistency demands rhythm
