Caledonian Industries Limited

We specialise in the production of Gaskets, Seals, Packaging, Acoustic Control products and Engineering Plastic components.

Caledonian Industries are long established as a materials technology and manufacturing organisation. Located in Glasgow, adjacent to both the airport and motorway, we are well placed to supply the growth industries of electronics and telecommunications. Our experience and knowledge of precision foam and engineering-plastics has fuelled our growth as a key supplier of packaging products and base stations. Ongoing innovation and performance continues to keep us at the forefront in supplying seals and gaskets for the oil, gas and automotive Industries.

Key Sectors

Automotive
We manufacture and supply high integrity foam seals and gaskets for use in light cluster surrounds and instrument panels.

Using specialist foams and adhesive backed materials sourced worldwide we have extensive experience of the market requirements. Additionally, we process acoustic materials and foams for general use in the AUTOMOTIVE industry where noise levels are critical. This demanding and sophisticated business optimises the collective skills of our design engineering team.

Packaging
Our extensive experience of engineering foams in the speciality packaging industry allows us to recommend and supply the optimum protection for fragile and sensitive components.

Supplying various sectors including the electronics, Drinks and engineering markets in particular, we also have ongoing product initiatives with several key multi-nationals. To further optimise our PACKAGING capabilities we have developed, in conjunction with the University of Strathclyde, a software programme to simulate the effect of drop-testing.

Aerospace
Our portfolio of high performance materials and strategic alliances with major materials manufacturers allows us to satisfy the demanding requirements of the aerospace and defence industries.

We offer solutions for applications as diverse as acoustic insulation, shock and vibration control and electrical insulation. The increasingly high demands that are imposed on the AEROSPACE industry justify our commitment to quality assurance systems that are continuously assessed and of the highest standard. Materials include metals, fibres and composites manufactured on both impact and rotary presses.

Electronics
We are long established in the supply chain of many multi-national organisations, producing precision cut materials, laminated composites and a wide range of foam components for noise control.

Our involvement with sub-assembly operations continues to expand and our experienced team have a reputation for quality, flexibility and innovation. We continue to seek new opportunities within the ELECTRONICS sector where our knowledge of materials and customer requirements ensures a competitive advantage.

Oil And Gas
Our involvement within the off-shore industry dates back to the early seventies. We manufacture a range of precision machined seals and back-up rings in engineering plastics for use in on-shore and off-shore pipeline safety and control systems. Using the latest CNC machining technology we are able to meet the specific requirements of the world's major OIL & GAS equipment producers.

Defence
Our portfolio of high performance materials and strategic alliances with major materials manufacturers allows us to satisfy the demanding requirements of the defence industries.

We offer solutions for applications as diverse as acoustic insulation, shock and vibration control, heat management and electrical insulation. The increasingly high demands that are imposed in military applications justify our commitment to quality assurance systems that are continuously assessed and of the highest standard. Materials include foams and elastomers which in turn include thermal or electrically conductive fillers or encapsulation.
