Precision Polymer Engineering opens Texas hub

Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-performance molded elastomer seals, has announced the official opening of its new manufacturing facility in Brenham, Texas. 

The new site manufactures high-performance, compression-molded components for the oil and gas industry as well as critical components for semiconductor and heavy equipment applications. 

Strategically placed near Houston, the hub of the American oil & gas industry and the Californian semiconductor manufacturing base, the new 30,000-square-foot site complements PPE’s existing manufacturing facility in the UK and will include its own tool making, extrusion and inspection departments in line with PPE’s flexible operating model. 

PPE’s existing delivery record is already outstanding, the company says, with some of the quickest lead times in the industry -- and now the opening of the Brenham facility will significantly boost PPE’s production capabilities.

“We have made significant investment in the new Houston facility, both in capital equipment and experienced personnel which will further assist us in delivering our value proposition to our core oil and gas, semiconductor and heavy equipment markets," said Paul Gillyon, managing director of PPE.

"We are all very excited about this new resource, which includes a state-of-the-art cleanroom, and the opportunities it will bring to PPE and our customers.”
