What Savillex does

Savillex is a privately held, Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based manufacturer founded in 1976 that designs and produces high-performance fluoropolymer containers, vials, jars, filtration assemblies, and custom-molded components for life sciences, analytical, semiconductor, aerospace, chemical, and environmental customers. Its core technical differentiator is a proprietary stretch blow molding process executed in ISO Class 7 cleanrooms with HEPA-filtered environments, applied across PFA, PTFE, FEP, ETFE, and PETG materials, with all tooling designed and manufactured in-house. The portfolio centers on the Purillex® brand (PETG and PFA bottles, PFA vials, 2D single-use bag assemblies) and includes acquired offerings such as ONFAB flexible containment isolators and HarvestMax® filtration and XpressVent® venting products for semiconductor and laboratory use.

The company monetizes through three primary streams: catalog sales of standardized fluoropolymer labware and Purillex bottles sold direct via its website with listed pricing; quote-based custom molding services for specialized applications; and single-use containment systems for pharmaceutical process manufacturing acquired through ONFAB. Distribution combines direct e-commerce, a global distributor network accessed through a 'Find a Distributor' tool, and regional field sales offices in Seattle, Raleigh, and Boston targeting enterprise accounts. End customers include government laboratories (US EPA, USGS), GMP manufacturing facilities, CDMOs, QC laboratories, and advanced therapy manufacturers, supported by USP Class VI, USP <87>, USP <661.2>, and ISO 9001:2015 certifications.

Since 2023, Savillex has operated as a portfolio company of private equity sponsor Thompson Street Capital Partners (TSCP), under which it executed two acquisitions (ONFAB in November 2023 and Optimum Processing in November 2024) to expand into pharmaceutical containment and adjacent processing technologies, while organically extending its Purillex single-use product line to capture demand from bioprocessing and cell-and-gene therapy workflows.
