TRP Sealing Systems moulds a two metre seal to +/- 1 mm
TRP Sealing Systems are producing moulded elastomer seals valve seals
over 2000 mm Dia.
Possibly more impressive is the fact that the tolerance is just 2 mm.
Produced on TRP's range of modern computer controlled moulding equipment
has allowed this degree of precision that would normally be associated with
much smaller components.
"Our understanding of elastomers and our ability to control our processes and
production enviroment has allowed us to accurately to predict the finished size,"
said TRP Sealing Systems Technical Manager Warren Febery, "Our customers
can rely on TRP to provide product to meet the increasing technical demands required by our industry."
New Presses allow for expansion of automotive production. | August 2013 |
Responding to continued demand within the automotive sector TRP Sealing systems has added a further two 700 ton up-stroking moulding machines. This additional capacity has allowed TRP to capitalise on customer needs for consistent quality mouldings.

TRP Sealing Systems expands production capacity with new compression moulding press. | Feb 2013 |
Responding to a steady increase in customer demand, TRP Sealing Systems has expanded its production capacity with the acquisition of a new 700 tonne compression moulding machine. The new 950 mm x 1,830 mm upstroke compression moulding press will enable the Hereford based elastomer moulding company to cut lead times, and this new acquisition in equipment completes a line-up of 18 identical presses, and complement TRP’s range of presses from 25 to 1,200 tons. “With strong and continuing growth in our order book, the new press will enable us to improve our responsiveness” said TRP Sealing Systems’ Managing Director Simon Children, “and it will also provide additional capacity to meet market growth in the near term.” The press provides a range of advanced features including full electronic control and even heat distribution from its oil heated platens. TRP Sealing Systems activities in the design and production of elastomer mouldings range from product design and process engineering through to prototype and full production. This is based on its extensive knowledge of rubber moulding, rubber to metal bonding and combining rubber with PTFE |

TRP Sealing Systems, Business boom after expanding into the Indian market | June 2012 |
| A HEREFORDSHIRE businessman is to share some of his tips for export success at a breakfast event later this month. Simon Children, managing director of TRP Sealing Systems, has seen business boom after expanding into the Indian market. He will be talking about what he has learnt about working with India at the breakfast briefing, Doing Business with India, on April 25. Simon Children, managing director, TRP Sealing Systems TRP, which designs and manufactures sealing systems for global blue chip engineering companies, was set up by Mr Children’s father Peter Children in 1980. The £26m turnover business has grown to the point where it now exports 99% of what it produces and in addition to the UK, has operations in India and Romania. Simon Children, who originally trained as a lawyer but returned to the family business after working for 10 years in London, said: “Our customers are mainly in the oil and gas field, the ship building industry, the food and drink sector and the nuclear industry. “All of them have approached us to design and manufacture new sealing applications. Our growth has been down to the fact that every single application requires a specific design to solve a unique problem. “Because we have been trading for over 30 years we already have a catalogue of materials which allow us to meet almost all our customers’ needs. But with technology ever evolving, we must remain ahead of the game by developing new material for upcoming applications – so we are growing and expanding our product range all the time.” The firm started working in India three years ago because the company was growing and looking for a manufacturing strategy which would help the firm expand. The business has been helped by the fact there are only three companies across the globe which does what it does - two of which are in Sweden. “The market in India was attractive, not only because of its competitive labour costs, but because it was a faster growing market than its counterparts in Europe,” he added. All of TRP Sealing Systems’ corporate functions are still managed in the firm’s Hereford base, including the whole corporation’s financial operations, and all material design and testing. In the UK it employs around 300 people; 120 in India and 100 in Romania. The Romanian site is a service facility for the UK operation, but in India all manufacturing processes are on one site. “Clearly the Indian and Asian markets are growing. If UK firms and West Midland businesses don’t get out there our competitors will,” said Mr Children. “I saw working with India as a crucial strategic step to grow the business. Any company that wants a global footprint must start looking at working with India, China or Asia – or all three.” |
