We are experts in manufacturing silicone products for a variety of industries in New Zealand and beyond, such as agriculture, appliances and construction.
We manufacture and supply a range of milk tubing. We compound our own silicone to our own unique formulations at our Christchurch, New Zealand manufacturing plant. We have been manufacturing silicone products for nearly 50 years.
Key features of EPL silicone tubing
