Solvateq

SILICONE EXPERTISE FOR PROTOTYPING AND SMALL-SERIES PRODUCTION (1 TO 100 UNITS)

Solvateq works with companies that require reliable silicone solutions, when part design and architecture directly determine performance under real operating conditions.
Our expertise focuses on the design and manufacture of silicone molds and parts for technical, industrial, and food-grade applications, when standard solutions no longer meet requirements related to use, precision, or volume.

Based in Switzerland, Solvateq operates throughout Romandy and across Switzerland on prototyping and small-series projects, with clearly defined technical scopes and deliverables.

A CLEAR SPECIALIZATION

Rather than multiplying processes and materials, Solvateq has deliberately chosen a focused expertise in silicone.
This specialization ensures stronger control over material properties, usage constraints, and quality requirements specific to flexible components, particularly during the prototyping and small-series phases.

OUR SILICONE OFFERS

FUNCTIONAL SILICONE PROTOTYPE

This offer is suitable if:

  • you need to validate a real function (cleaning, contact, sealing, damping, ergonomics)

  • injection molding or large-scale production is not relevant at this stage

  • you require a prototype that can be tested under real operating conditions

What is included:

  • analysis of functional requirements and real use conditions

  • definition of the appropriate silicone solution

  • part design (architecture, thickness distribution, functional areas)

  • manufacture of a functional silicone prototype

  • technical recommendations for the next project phases

This offer does not include:

  • exploratory R&D without a clear functional objective

  • large-scale industrialization

  • certified medical devices

👉 Ideal for making a technical decision quickly.

SMALL-SERIES SILICONE PRODUCTION (1 TO 100 UNITS)

This offer is suitable if:

  • your prototype has been validated

  • you need to produce a limited quantity of reliable parts

  • repeatability and stable behavior are critical

What is included:

  • adaptation or finalization of the design

  • design and manufacture of the silicone mold

  • production of a small series of 1 to 100 units

  • visual and functional inspection

  • parts ready for integration or real-condition testing

This offer does not include:

  • mass production

  • heavy automation

  • volumes exceeding 100 units

👉 Designed to test a product, process, or market without heavy industrial investment.

TURNKEY SILICONE SOLUTION

This offer is suitable if:

  • your project involves multiple technical constraints

  • design decisions strongly impact final behavior

  • you require a single technical point of contact from definition to delivery

What is included:

  • technical scoping of requirements

  • design trade-offs based on real use conditions

  • part and mold design

  • manufacture of the prototype and/or small series

  • functional validation based on defined criteria

This offer does not include:

  • projects without a defined scope

  • fundamental R&D

  • large-scale industrialization

👉 Intended for projects where design makes the difference.

WHAT WE DO - AND WHAT WE DON’T DO

To guarantee a high level of quality and coherence, Solvateq focuses on clearly defined project types.

 

WE WORK ON:

  • functional silicone prototypes
  • prototyping and small-series production (1 to 100 units)
  • silicone molds for internal production
  • projects requiring flexibility, responsiveness, and technical control

WE ARE NOT POSITIONED FOR:

  • mass production
  • heavy industrial tooling
  • multi-material processes outside silicone

HOW WE WORK

We proceed step by step to ensure functional silicone parts adapted to real use conditions.
Once requirements are validated, we define the material solution, design the mold, and manufacture the parts for product validation, pre-series, and small-series production.

Services start from CHF 1,440, depending on project complexity and objectives.
