Sil-Pro has announced the appointment of Kevin Carver to the position of president. He succeeds his father, Lee Carver, who will continue on with company in a realigned role as part of the company's strategic management transition process. Lee Carver, one of the founders of Sil-Pro in 1998, announced the management changes and said that his son's appointment will provide continuity to Sil-Pro's rapid growth as a leading supplier of precision silicone components and assemblies to the medical device community.

Lee Carver said as part of the management transition, he will continue on with the company and focus primarily on Sil-Pro's customer and supplier relationship programs while turning over company-wide management to his son.

'With over four very successful years in his previous position at Sil-Pro as vice president, Kevin is ideally qualified to move into the position of president,' stated Lee Carver.

'He served the company well as vice president and was responsible for strengthening Sil-Pro's management team.

He guided the growth of the company's highly automated molding, part slitting and removal, and electronic vision inspection process capabilities.

He played an integral role in the tripling of Sil-Pro's sales volume and expansion of our customer base to include dozens of the world's leading medical device manufacturers.' Sil-Pro currently has over 100 employees with annual sales exceeding 8 million dollars.

The company is highly specialized in its field with ISO 9001:2000 certification providing CAD product development and class 10,000 cleanroom molding.

This includes fully automated molding cells and complete assembly services.

Included in Sil-Pro's capabilities are liquid silicone molding, gum stock molding, and bonding silicone parts to plastics, metal and other silicone parts using medical grade adhesives.

Sil-Pro's bonding and assembly capabilities include robotic equipment and part specific fixturing to aid in the manufacturing process.

Prior to joining Sil-Pro, Kevin Carver was founder and president of Acrylium, a successful contract fabricating manufacturer, which he sold in order to join Sil-Pro.
