Keynote

Perfect Match: The Critical Role of Silicone

Linda Muroski, President of Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical, will provide a high-level overview of the medical device market and outline the many benefits of Silicone for healthcare and medical applications.

Presentation

Introduction to Silicone Technology

General Manager of Trelleborg Stein am Rhein Jarno Burkhardt will discuss projects and applications where Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is most suitable and what capabilities customers can leverage at our global manufacturing facilities. If the application requires high precision, delicate parts, thin or blind sections, and must be flash-free, LSR injection molding could be a great fit.

Panel Discussion

From Prototype to Production: Exploring Scalability

Global New Product Development Director Philipp Begert, European Segment Manager Florance Veronelli, and Senior Automation Manager Jeff Westom will share the importance of having a dedicated partner during all stages of product development. They’ll discuss the value of using Trelleborg’s Innovation Center to collaborate with experts from concept through to serial production while taking advantage of advanced manufacturing processes.

Presentation

Pioneering Silicone: Miniaturization & Special Molding

The trend to miniaturize devices significantly increases the complexity of manufacturing and requires equipment, tooling, and processes with a high level of precision. Global New Product Development Director Philipp Begert and Product Line Director Ursula Nollenberger will share the endless possibilities of micromolding for medical applications. Learn about capabilities like multicomponent molding and overmolding that can provide unique solutions for some of the medical industry’s toughest challenges.
