Why Stockwell is a Sensible Strategic Partner in this Rough Economy

Stockwell Elastomerics’ business model has been centered around low to mid volume runs, quality and speed. For companies practicing Lean Manufacturing this business model makes good sense. Stockwell maintains stock in its core product lines such as Silicone Foams, Silicone Sponge, Solid Silicone, Poron, Thermal products, EMI gasketing materials, and Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA). This stock along with quick changeovers and semi-automated production equipment (Die Cutting, Water Jet Cutting, Slitting and Laminating) allows for fast turns on low to mid-volume runs.

In the current economic climate, overproduction and inventory are much more of a liability than they were a year ago. With some customers relying on lines of credit and banks being more cautious, the risk of orders being cancelled and OEM’s being left holding the bag is much greater. Having a fast turn supplier such as Stockwell who can run smaller batch sizes and still meet long term production needs with scheduled releases allows OEM’s to have less “skin in the game”.

New Stockwell Brochure!

Over the last few months Bill Stockwell has been working on a new brochure that highlights Stockwell Elastomerics core products and service. I thought it would be interesting to show a couple pages from an archive brochure. I’m guessing this brochure is from the 1940 – 1950’s. Think about what may have been involved with that brochure. No digital pictures or computers back then!

It’s remarkable how some things remain the same and others do not. As an example on the inside cover of the 1940ish brochure the slogan reads “What we really SELL is SERVICE” this very much holds true for Stockwell today. The old Stockwell Rubber Company sold everything “rubber” whereas today Stockwell Elastomerics is focused on high performance materials (such as silicone, Poron urethane foam, thermal and electrically conductive rubber), custom manufacturing (waterjet cutting, die cutting, slitting, and molding. Quick reliable service is still at the core of Stockwell's business model.
