Silicone solutions designed for real-world, repeated use
Silicone molds and parts for industrial and food-grade applications.Prototyping and small-series production (1 to 100 units).
Based in Switzerland, Solvateq supports companies across Romandy and throughout Switzerland on projects requiring reliable silicone solutions, when standard options or heavy industrialization are not suitable.
Specialized in silicone, the company designs and manufactures silicone molds and parts intended for technical applications…
WHAT WE DO
At Solvateq, we step in when silicone is the most relevant material to meet requirements for precision, flexibility, and durability, in situations where standard manufacturing processes cannot deliver the expected result.
These services are intended for prototyping and small-series projects, with a clearly defined scope and a specific functional objective.
SILICONE MOLDS
Solvateq designs and manufactures silicone molds for low- to medium-volume production, where repeatability, demolding quality, and reliability are critical.
Project examples:
Silicone molds for chocolates, pastries, or confectionery
Molds for candles or cosmetic parts
Molds for flexible-part prototypes
Molds for small industrial production runs
SILICONE PARTS
We manufacture silicone parts intended for real-world functions: sealing, protection, damping, ergonomics, or food contact. These solutions are designed for projects where the flexibility of silicone is essential, but where standard industrial processes are not suitable.
Examples of applications:
Flexible seals and protective components
Covers and ergonomic interfaces
Diffusers and flexible elements for machinery
Food-grade silicone parts
TURNKEY SILICONE SOLUTIONS
Beyond molds or parts, we offer complete silicone solutions when you need a single point of contact to secure the entire project, from needs definition to final validation.
Examples of support:
Full development of a silicone part and its mold
Adapting an existing part into a silicone version
Development of a functional prototype
Launch of a small production run ready for manufacturing
WHY CHOOSE SOLVATEQ?
A CLEAR SPECIALIZATION
Rather than multiplying processes and materials, Solvateq has chosen a focused area of expertise. This specialization enables more relevant solutions, with a level of mastery and consistency that is difficult to achieve through a generalist approach.
A USE-ORIENTED APPROACH
Each project is addressed based on its real-world context: environment, constraints, frequency of use, and functional expectations. This method ensures solutions that are adapted to actual use, not only to manufacturing considerations.
EXPERTISE TAILORED TO SMALL-SERIES PRODUCTION
Prototyping and small-series projects require a different approach from heavy industrialization. Solvateq operates precisely in this space, with flexible, responsive, and economically sound solutions.
This specialization also means that we do not take on heavy industrialization or large-scale production projects.
A SINGLE TECHNICAL POINT OF CONTACT
From the first discussion through to final validation, you work with one technical contact who oversees the entire project. This simplifies decision-making, reduces back-and-forth, and secures the development process.

Read MoreWhat our clients say
We work with clients from a wide range of industries. What they value most is our responsiveness, our transparency, and the quality of our silicone solutions for functional applications.
Some testimonials reflect our broader expertise in prototyping, but today our core business is the development of silicone solutions, from design through to manufacturing.
FAQ
DO YOU WORK EXCLUSIVELY WITH SILICONE?
Yes. Solvateq is now specialized in silicone solutions in order to guarantee a high level of expertise and technical consistency. This focus allows us to provide more relevant answers for prototyping and small-series production.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CHOOSE A SILICONE SOLUTION?
Silicone is particularly suitable when flexibility, resistance, or food contact are decisive criteria. It also makes it possible to launch production quickly without heavy investment in industrial tooling.
DO YOU WORK ONLY WITH COMPANIES IN SWITZERLAND?
Solvateq is based in Switzerland and primarily supports clients in French-speaking Switzerland and across the country. Depending on the projects, we also collaborate with international partners.
What volumes do you handle?
We primarily work on prototyping and small-series projects, with volumes ranging from 1 to 100 units. This scope allows us to ensure a high level of technical control, repeatability, and responsiveness, without relying on heavy industrial manufacturing processes.
What is the minimum budget to start a project?
Silicone projects at Solvateq start from CHF 1,440.
This budget corresponds to the initial project phase and includes technical analysis of the requirements, material selection, as well as the design and manufacture of a first functional deliverable (part or mold, depending on the project).
The final budget then depends on the project’s complexity, volumes, and specific technical requirements.
