Opportunity
A long-term customer engaged Stockwell Elastomerics to support a new gasketing program tied to NPC Power data center construction. Building on an established relationship, Stockwell was selected to supply adhesive-backed silicone sponge for high-volume production.
Application
The customer uses Stockwell’s materials to manufacture precision gaskets integrated into new data center enclosures. Demand is expected to grow significantly, with 2027 volumes projected to double 2026 requirements.
Solution
After testing multiple materials, the customer standardized on a Saint-Gobain silicone sponge with a 3M high performance adhesive. Stockwell supports the program by maintaining on-hand inventory with the adhesive already applied, enabling consistent weekly shipments and reducing supply chain risk.
Stockwell Advantage
- Preferred supplier with over $350K in existing business
- Expertise in adhesive application on silicone sponge
- Stocked material supporting reliable weekly fulfillment
- Value-added processing that simplifies customer production
Results
The program is forecasted to generate millions of parts, with continued growth expected. Stockwell’s material expertise and fulfillment capabilities helped secure preferred supplier status while supporting the customer’s expansion in data center infrastructure.
