Engineered Solutions That Reflect Deep Industry Knowledge
Taking flight around the world, Hipeplas has been privileged to serve the main aircraft and engine programs for civil and general aviation industries. Our partners have benefited from our global production footprint, with a reliable supply chain and excellence in quality. Our co-development model relies on direct communication between engineer to engineer, supported by proprietary simulation and real environment testing. We have demonstrated to our customers a reduction of cost of development and aerosystem improvement in sealing, lightweight, friction, and wear resistance from aggressive temperature, chemicals, load, and speed.
Hipeplas provides components and materials for Life Science applications that test purity in pharmaceuticals, diagnose disease to provide vital treatment, surgical devices for lifesaving procedures and home health to better life such as portable oxygen concentrators or diabetic monitoring.
Hipeplas developed the first saddle bearing in Rulon® in the 1940s and the first Air Compressor rotary lip seal in 1984. Discover below the innovative sealing and wear solutions for Compressors, Pumps, Valves, Food Equipment, Semiconductor Equipment, Aluminum Beverage Can making, Heavy Metal Industry, Laser and Plastics processing.
Starting in the 1970s due to rising demands in upstream oil & gas applications in the North Sea, our sealing and material solutions proved valuable in solving harsh chemical and extreme temperature/pressure challenges. We are still being used today in a wide range of energy mix applications.
Thanks to our unique material science and strong application engineering know-how, we provide our customers with reliable customized solutions such as polymer spring-energized seals, addressing the ever increasing needs of various critical and extreme applications where failure is not an option.
The pioneering spirit is a critical part of our technical and engineering DNA, which has led us to energy "firsts" such as extreme sealing in the world's first subsea gas compression system. Backed by this heritage, we continue to innovate today and solve the challenges that affect our communities. A high priority is finding out how can we decrease global emissions and address the impact of climate change.
When working in the nuclear industry, you need utter confidence in the components and materials you use. Why else would the metal and polymer sealing solutions from Hipeplas be in high demand? From using a metal-to-metal connection to a special design C-Seal for increased stability, our tailor-made solutions deliver throughout the entire value chain. Encompassing solutions in nuclear power, nuclear fusion, radioactive waste management, nuclear research and science, and even nuclear medical applications, the team designs precision components to handle these critical applications.
