SilcoTek is Making the World a Better Place, One Part at a Time

Published on March 10 2023

 

"A Better World Through SilcoTek Coatings" 

Lets save our planet earth. Ecology concept. Elements of this image are furnished by NASA


This is our vision.

It may seem vague to some, but to us it has a lot of meaning. But, what does the SilcoTek vision really mean? Sure, we can parrot it back to you, but it doesn't hold much weight unless we know what it means and how we can apply it to our day to day at SilcoTek. Every company has different departments and responsibilities, and SilcoTek is no different. Our process is very different than most manufacturing companies in that we provide a service rather than a product. We wanted to see how this vision differs throughout the company. 

 

We asked employees to explain what our vision means to them:

Eckley, Mark

"We are able to make customers parts work in environments where they normally wouldn’t without using exotic alloys, more accurately to give true results and last longer so they don’t need to replace them so often in extreme environments. The coatings sell themselves in so many applications, our case studies prove it and help other customers be educated to help them and save them time and money. The coatings have become industry standards in many areas, we are not selling snake oil, we truly supply game changing coatings!"

Mark Eckley, International Customer Service. 


"To me, our vision is all about harnessing curiosity and innovation to change the world for the better; the work we do with so many different industries has the ability to generate change and introduce new technologies that will make a meaningful impact on the world, society, and even our own community members and their families. This concept of leaving the world better than you found it aligns with my personal ‘why’ and allows me to work with an organization where I love the work I do, love the people I work with, and love the way we are making a positive impact on the world. How lucky I am to work here!"

Ashley Molek, Human Resources Generalist  


Molek, Ashley-1

 

Smith, Clay

 

“Customers come to us with real world problems and it’s very exciting to collaborate with them to provide a solution. Our coatings are helping these visionaries make the impossible possible.”

Clay Smith, Sales 


"We tackle problems because they matter, not because they are easy. We evaluate challenging materials science issues and investigate whether we can solve them. We don’t look at the low-hanging fruit to make a quick and easy buck."

Geoff White, General Counsel and Chief Intellectual Property Counsel

"I take great pride in the fact that, because of our coatings, companies are able to more accurately sample and test for harmful chemicals, such as hydrogen sulfide, that are known to cause ecological damage if released in to our air.  Our coatings improve the quality of healthcare when applied to medical and analytical instruments, making them more accurate and reduce false readings.  SilcoTek services help companies be more profitable and more successful by reducing maintenance cycles and/or enabling their product to perform better than a competitor’s.  What we do is awesome.  Our customers use our services because it makes their products perform better and their company be more successful."

David Smith, Research and Development Manager 


“'A better world through SilcoTek coatings' truly represents the drive that we as a company show every day. Every day we coat hundreds to thousands of parts that serve numerous industries (many of which affect us every day) and we are constantly developing new coatings to help solve our customers many problems. We truly strive to have a meaningful impact on the world and we push towards that each and every day."

Josh Kahle, Manufacturing Process Engineer 


 Kahle, Josh
 

“To me, a better world through SilcoTek coatings isn’t limited to the direct impact of the coatings themselves. SilcoTek has had an impact on the surrounding communities through donations, opportunities, and other endeavors that are just as important as the results that customers see.”

These are all great, positive responses about what our vision means to our employees! A resounding agreeance from SilcoTekians shows that we all know what it means and how to apply it to our work. It might look a little different for each employee, but we all know that our job is to provide the best solution to our customer's needs. What we do is really important to many industries and companies.

 

Take a quick break to watch the video below as our President and Head Coach, Paul Silvis, explains how we got started and an overview of our patented CVD coating process. 

 

 

Applications

We take pride in the fact that our work makes the world a better place by offering solutions to otherwise unsolvable problems in applications like: 

  • Gas Chromatography 
  • Semiconductor Manufacturing
  • Refinery & Petrochemical 
  • Medical Diagnostic & IVD 
  • Automotive 
  • Offshore & Marine 
  • Aerospace 
  • Oil & Gas Upstream
  • High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
