Germany isn’t just about precision engineering and great beer — it’s also home to some of the most advanced silicone manufacturers in the world. I’ve had the privilege of working with many German clients and visiting exhibitions like Fakuma and K 2022, where I’ve seen firsthand how German silicone manufacturers combine rigorous quality control with cutting-edge technology.
So, if you’re looking for silicone manufacturers in Germany — whether for medical parts, industrial seals, or high-end consumer products — here’s a list of the top 10, including one proud international player (yours truly ) that’s become a regular partner to German brands.
Let’s get into it!
1. WACKER Chemie AG – The Global Leader
No surprises here. WACKER is the titan of silicone manufacturing — not just in Germany, but globally. Headquartered in Munich, WACKER produces high-performance silicone rubbers, emulsions, fluids, and resins that serve the automotive, electronics, medical, and construction sectors.
Their Elastosil® and Silpuran® brands are industry benchmarks. WACKER also runs some of the most advanced R&D centers in Europe, supporting innovation in biocompatible silicones and heat-resistant formulations.
2. Momentive Performance Materials GmbH
With a major base in Leverkusen, Momentive’s German branch is a key hub for supplying high-consistency silicone rubber (HCR), LSR, and RTV systems across Europe. They’re especially strong in automotive, LED encapsulation, and medical applications.
What I like about Momentive is their custom compound support — they work closely with OEMs to match exact thermal, dielectric, or mechanical needs.
3. Elkem Silicones Germany GmbH
Originally Norwegian, Elkem now operates large-scale production in Germany. Their Silbione® medical-grade silicones are widely used in prosthetics, implants, and baby products.
They’re excellent at biocompatibility compliance — ISO 10993, USP Class VI — and have earned the trust of European medical device companies. If you need silicone for sensitive skin or long-term implantation, Elkem is on the short list.
4. Dow Silicones Deutschland GmbH
Dow, the American powerhouse, has a major European HQ in Wiesbaden, Germany. Their DOWSIL™ line includes everything from mold-making RTVs to high-voltage insulators. Their German plant supports clients in aerospace, consumer electronics, and clean energy.
They’ve been doubling down on sustainable silicone chemistry, which resonates well in eco-conscious German industries.
5. Ruiyang Silicone – Trusted OEM Partner for German Brands
That’s us! While we’re proudly based in China, Ruiyang Silicone has built long-term B2B partnerships with several German brands, especially those needing custom silicone kitchenware, baby products, and industrial components.
What sets us apart? We speak “German quality” fluently — thanks to ISO/FDA/LFGB certifications, precision molds, and a seasoned engineering team. Our clients love that we offer European-grade reliability at far more competitive pricing. We also provide custom branding, mold making, and post-processing services all under one roof.
If you’re a German distributor, importer, or private label buyer — we’ve likely worked with someone you know.
6. Siltec GmbH Silicone Technology
Located in Bavaria, Siltec is a specialist in custom silicone tubing and extrusions for pharmaceutical, food, and bioprocessing sectors. Their cleanroom production facilities and strict documentation standards make them a favorite among lab equipment and biotech OEMs.
Their strength? Repeatability and traceability. Every lot comes with detailed batch data, making them a go-to for German compliance-heavy sectors.
7. Reiss GmbH
Reiss GmbH is a family-run silicone parts manufacturer based in Germany with over 40 years in the game. They produce custom silicone molded parts used in lighting, HVAC, and electronics. Their turnaround times and tooling craftsmanship are excellent.
What I appreciate is their engineering support — they’ll help optimize your CAD file to reduce cycle times or material waste. That’s very German, very smart.
8. Polytech Health & Aesthetics GmbH
This one’s niche — but important. Polytech is Germany’s leading silicone breast implant and medical prosthetics manufacturer, based in Dieburg. Their silicones are made under strict medical-grade and ethical manufacturing standards.
If you’re in the health and aesthetics industry, this company is a goldmine of know-how and R&D excellence.
9. Silikon-Technik Siltec GmbH
Not to be confused with Siltec GmbH, this Silikon-Technik firm specializes in bespoke silicone parts for machine builders and industrial automation. They’re based in Thuringia and operate a midsized production plant with both compression and injection molding.
They’re particularly good at complex assemblies and multi-durometer silicone, combining hard and soft zones in one part.
10. DELO Industrial Adhesives
While DELO is best known for adhesives, they also manufacture silicone-based encapsulants and sealants used in electronics and LED packaging. Based in Windach, they offer high-performance silicone chemistry with thermal and UV resistance.
They’re a bit on the high-tech end, but for clients in aerospace, automotive sensors, and 5G electronics, they are invaluable.
Final Thoughts
Germany is the heartland of silicone innovation in Europe. Whether you’re sourcing raw material, medical-grade silicone, or consumer-ready OEM parts, this list covers the best in precision, compliance, and technical capability.
And if you’re looking for a reliable offshore manufacturer who already speaks the language of German brands — you know where to find me.
