What Getelec does

Getelec is a French, family-owned SME founded in 1968 and headquartered in Buc (Yvelines), France, employing 48 people and generating approximately €8 million in annual turnover. The company designs and manufactures custom elastomer-based solutions across four technical domains: electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding via electrically conductive elastomers, environmental sealing silicone and fluorosilicone gaskets, microwave absorption across L through Ka frequency bands, and thermal management through thermally conductive gap pads (1 to 10 W/m.K). Its technology base is built on proprietary conductive-elastomer formulations developed in an in-house laboratory (Getelec Lab) equipped with SEM-EDS characterization tools and a salt bath co-extrusion line capable of producing 200 kg/hour. Products are certified to demanding standards including MIL STD 83528, ESA-ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C, Boeing FAR 25.853, Airbus ABD0031, EN 45545-2, ASTM E 595, REACH, and RoHS.

Getelec serves primarily European aerospace and defense primes — Airbus, Thales, Thales Alenia Space, MBDA, Naval Group, Safran, Dassault Aviation, and Syrlinks — together with rail (Alstom), medical, telecommunications, energy, automotive, and industrial electronics customers. Approximately 25% of revenue is generated from aeronautics programs and a further ~25% from exports distributed through a reseller network spanning four continents. The business model is direct enterprise field sales augmented by channel partners, with quote-based pricing, a €500 minimum order value, and bespoke engineering engagement from material selection through prototyping, testing, and industrialization. Recent strategic emphasis has been on lightweight flexible elastomers (GT-FLEX range, 2024), high-conductivity thermal pads (GTG 10-50, 2024), PFAS-free bi-material gaskets responding to French Law No. 2025-188 (GT5068, 2025), and hybrid materials plus 3D printing prototyping capability (2025-2026), with annual R&D spend at 15% of turnover underpinning the innovation cadence.

Core offering

Getelec designs and manufactures custom technical elastomer solutions for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding, thermal dissipation, microwave absorption, and environmental sealing. The company develops proprietary conductive silicone and fluorosilicone formulations meeting military (MIL G 83528) and aerospace (ESA-ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C, Boeing FAR 25.853, Airbus ABD0031) standards. Products are delivered as molded gaskets, flat cut seals, extruded profiles, and overmolded parts serving aerospace, defense, automotive, medical, telecommunications, transport, and energy industries.

Product overview

Getelec is a specialized B2B manufacturer of advanced elastomer solutions for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), thermal management, and technical sealing applications. The product portfolio centers on five core offerings: (1) Electrically Conductive Elastomers (GT-series including GT1000, GT5000, and their FLEX variants) for EMI/RFI shielding; (2) Environmental Sealing Silicone products (GT20-GT80) for protection against chemical, mechanical, and atmospheric stress; (3) Bi-material Corrosion-Resistant Gaskets (GT1040-GT5068 series) combining conductive and insulating functions via co-extrusion; (4) Thermal Gap Pads organized in GTG (1-10 W/m.K), GTC (silicone-free), GTD (cartridge-depositable), and GTS (low outgassing) ranges; and (5) Microwave Absorbers (GT602, GT501, GT502 series) covering frequency bands L through Ka. Supporting products include Metal EMC Shielding, Aircraft Grade Materials/Silicones, Extruded Profiles, and R&D characterization services. All products comply with military (MIL STD 83528), aerospace (ESA-ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C, Boeing FAR 25.853, Airbus ABD0031), and quality (ISO9001/EN9001) standards, serving aerospace, defense, automotive, medical, telecommunications, transport, and energy sectors.
