IATF 16949 – Automotive-Certified Manufacturing
RICO has been a reliable partner to the automotive industry since 1994 and suppliesEuropean Tier 1 suppliers and OEMswith tools and silicone components.
We areIATF 16949-certifiedanda reliable partner in the manufacture of custom silicone and multi-component parts.
We manufacture your components inlarge quantitiesusingfully automated production processes, ensuring completetraceability. In our tooling designs and production processes, we focus onmaterial-efficient, waste-free, low-burr, and cost-effective solutions.
2K and multi-component parts are possible, as is the overmolding of inserts. There are no limitations on material combinations such as silicone-silicone, silicone-thermoplastic, silicone-metal, and silicone-glass.
With itsoutstanding material properties, silicone isaversatile material that truly comes into its own in the automotive industry. Two-component parts are often used tosave installation space or reduce the number of process steps—we would be happy to advise you on this.
Benefits of Silicone in the Automotive Industry:
- High-temperatureresistanceandlow-temperature flexibility
- Goodresilienceinsealing applications and low compression set
- Oil-releasing siliconesforeasier assembly
- Optical siliconesforcrystal-clear applications
