100+ Year Old Firm Invests Over $8M In Expanded Facilities, Manufacturing Capacity, And Engineering Talent

Philadelphia-based Stockwell Elasatomerics makes significant investment to support continued customer growth

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, August 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Stockwell Elastomerics, a leading manufacturer of custom silicone gaskets, conductive elastomer EMI shielding solutions, and precision elastomeric components, today announced a significant expansion of its manufacturing footprint, production capabilities, and technical workforce, with a total investment of more than $8 million.

The company has acquired an additional facility adjacent to its current Philadelphia corporate campus and invested in new manufacturing equipment and engineering resources to support continued growth and better serve customers in aerospace, defense, medical devices, semiconductor manufacturing, electronics, instrumentation, and other technology-driven industries.
These investments reinforce Stockwell Elastomerics’ commitment to providing customers with responsive engineering support, rapid prototyping, scalable production, and industry-leading quality.

Expanding Manufacturing Capacity and Technical Capabilities

As part of its ongoing growth strategy, Stockwell Elastomerics has purchased a new building adjacent to its Philadelphia corporate campus. The additional 38,000-square-foot facility will expand the company’s manufacturing, engineering, quality, and operational footprint, increasing the total Stockwell campus to more than 100,000 square feet. During 2026, the company will complete facility planning, infrastructure enhancements, and renovations in preparation for production operations. Manufacturing activities are expected to begin in 2027, further increasing Stockwell’s capacity for custom silicone molding, fabrication, and assembly while supporting growing customer demand, accelerating project timelines, and enabling future investments in technology, equipment, and talent.

At the same time, Stockwell Elastomerics is expanding with a significant investment in additional equipment to complement its new space. The company has also added:
• Three new compression molding presses
• A new Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) press
• Additional manufacturing infrastructure to support increased production volumes and accelerated project timelines

These investments significantly expand Stockwell’s ability to support both prototype and production requirements across a broad range of silicone, fluorosilicone, conductive elastomer, and specialty engineered material applications.
The addition of new compression molding equipment increases production capacity for custom-molded elastomer components while the new LIM press enhances the company’s ability to manufacture highly repeatable, precision-molded silicone parts for demanding applications requiring tight tolerances and consistent material performance.

Investing In Engineering, Quality, And Customer Support

In parallel with its facility and equipment expansion, Stockwell Elastomerics has continued to invest in and expand its technical and customer-facing teams to support growing customer demand and increasingly complex application requirements. Fifteen recent additions have strengthened the company’s applications engineering, customer service, and quality functions, including the expansion of its Applications Engineering team, Customer Service organization, and Quality department.

The company has also continued to grow its Quality organization to support increasing customer requirements, enhance process controls, and uphold the rigorous standards expected in highly regulated industries. As part of this commitment to continual improvement, Stockwell successfully maintained its ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications, reinforcing its dedication to quality, traceability, and operational excellence.

These investments in talent and organizational capability further enhance Stockwell’s ability to provide consultative engineering support, accelerate product development, improve responsiveness, and deliver exceptional quality throughout the customer journey.
