    Burteck L.L.C.
    Burteck L.L.C.'s LSR projects have all been with existing customers, but the firm used NPE2018 to launch LSR as an official offering.

    WINDSOR, Conn.—Burteck L.L.C. is getting ready to break into liquid silicone rubber.

    The firm has installed an Engel LSR molding work cell, complete with a Graco pumping station that can handle 5- and 55-gallon drums at its technical center and headquarters in Windsor.

    The investments have led to it develop more than a dozen LSR molds in the last year. Program Manager John Eastham said LSR tool building likely will become a business of focus for Burtech going forward.

    "All of our projects have been done with existing customers," Eastham said of the LSR business. "We're viewing NPE as our official launch of LSR tool building as an offering. We feel at this point we've done enough projects, seen enough run time on the tools we have built and have the work cell in place to test the tools that we do build. We feel very confident that we're ready to do this."
