About SBR-LS and our work to support innovation in life science and healthcare technology
SBR-LS has the knowledge and expertise to support critical life science and healthcare industries with silicone and rubber sealing solutions
The formation of SBR-LS is a result of the progressive approach Southbourne Rubber has taken since the business was formed in 1995. Manufacturing with quality, production agility and overall excellence has always been the common goal.
With an extensive understanding of rubber and silicone compound material options, there is an ongoing and parallel drive to innovate new products and services. We support and meet the demands of critical markets and applications in the UK and globally. As part of The West Group of Companies we achieve an enhanced, collective expertise for our customers.
Understanding within the life science community is continually evolving and is fast paced. As our scientific knowledge develops, so must the creation of technologies to enable the development of working practice. Our technical teams have extensive knowledge of materials, their applications and how they can be maximised or manipulated.
'In-house manufacturing, understanding materials and production agility enables us to support life science markets with quality and performance components'
