Direct support for Original Equipment Manufacturer

ERIKS Sealing & Polymer provide specialist support to Equipment Manufacturers

Our direct sales channel is designed to meet the needs of batch and serial equipment manufacturers.

Customers are served by a team of Industry Specialist, Business Development Managers and dedicated, product focussed, internal Sales Administrators; all backed up by Materials, Design and Quality Control Engineers.

Our Materials and Design Engineers collaborate with you to select materials and capture conceptual designs through application of extensive knowledge and applying toolsets such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Design for Six-Sigma. We employ rapid manufacture techniques to deliver functional prototypes, helping you accelerate your time to market for new products, giving you competitive advantage.

Customer specific stockholding, demand forecast models and predictive purchasing algorithms help us maintain continuity of supply, whilst our risk based quality control and product specialist supply chain management reduced your enterprise risk.

We are glad to offer both in-house and partner manufactured products that can be delivered through via numerous logistical methods including line-side Kanban supply.
