About

SiMEDEx was launched in 2017 to do one thing and to do this exceptionally well. As our name suggests, SiMEDEx focuses exclusively on Silicone, Medical, Extrusion. SiMEDEx’ founders have been awarded 10 US Patents for advancements in silicone extrusion equipment, processes, and raw materials. This expertise has earned us the trust of 100+ customers spanning 21 countries. SiMEDEx’ recent technical achievements include micro-tubing with wall dimensions as thin as 0.002”, various types of reinforced tubes, layered geometries containing antimicrobial additives, and multi-lumen twisted tubes meeting tolerances of less than 0.001”. We are an ISO-13485:2016 certified company with a robust quality system supporting the medical device community in both implantable and non-implantable applications. We operate 6 extrusion lines each scalable to meet our customers’ expectations.

Providing exceptional customer service is as important as providing the highest quality silicone extrusions. We strive to answer all inquiries within 24 hours, quotes are generally delivered within 48 hours, and many jobs are completed within 2-8 weeks depending on materials availability and cooling lead times.


SiMEDEx, our name is what we do - Silicone, Medical, Extrusion.

The SiMEDEx leadership team was purposely selected to pull together expertise across various disciplines.

 

President, Paul E. Mazelin  805.610.6444  paul.mazelin@simedex.com

Paul serves as the President of SiMEDEx. Paul literally grew up in the silicone business. His father was a co-founder of Specialty Silicone Fabricators and Paul was inquisitive about the silicone contract manufacturing business from an early age. Prior to launching SiMEDEx, Paul worked for 22 years at SSF where he held various key positions including R&D Manager, Strategic Accounts Manager, and later Global Sales and Marketing Manager. His technical expertise, coupled with his understanding of manufacturing cost-drivers, allows him to collaborate with engineers on initiatives that improve manufacturability, drive down costs, and reduce lead times for both implantable and non-implantable medical device applications.

Engineering, Charles Schryver  Chief Technology Officer
Charles’ silicone career has spanned over 34 years. Mr. Schryver served as Specialty Silicone Fabricators’ VP of Engineering and R&D for 23 years. In this role, Mr. Schryver developed equipment and processes that resulted in GeoTrans®, a technological breakthrough that allowed tubing geometries to be modified during the extrusion process. Mr. Schryver was awarded 5 US patents for his work related to transitional silicone extrusion equipment and processes. Charles was later recruited by Helix Medical (Freudenberg Medical) where he spent 5 years overseeing their silicone extrusion operation. Charles later launched a very successful consulting enterprise and has traveled widely advising silicone extrusion clients in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Charles attributes his successful career to his approach to engineering which he describes simply as “hands-on”.


Operations, Frank East  Director of Manufacturing  805.610.6344  frank.east@simedex.com

Frank started working in the medical silicone business in 1998.  His time at Specialty Silicone Fabricators was spent as a Product Manager over Extrusion and Molding, a Business Unit Manager over the Dipping/Sheeting department, and as a Marketing Manager over all the lines of business.  He then went on to work as a Business Development Manager for Qure Medical.  In that position, he was responsible for sales of silicone and rubber/plastics for the western region where he analyzed and monitored potential growth opportunities and partnerships.  Frank also started a sales and consulting firm called East Polymer Sales Engineering, LLC.  He sourced new customers/leads for clients, analyzed market opportunities/solutions and he developed and executed business and marketing plans.
