PURE-LOCK LIMITED

What PURE-LOCK LIMITED does

Pure-Lock Limited is a privately held UK-based manufacturer of single-use technology components for the bioprocessing, life sciences, and biotechnology industries, headquartered at Security House, Acornfield Road, Knowsley Industrial Park, Liverpool (L33 7PA). The company designs and produces polymer tri-clamps, sanitary gaskets, silicone tubing, braided silicone hose, and custom over-moulded tubing assemblies manufactured and packaged in ISO Class 7 clean rooms. Its flagship product is the Pure-Lock Tri-Clamp, a polymer-based clamp with a patent-pending over-centre cam-arm locking action that delivers an audible "click" confirming safe assembly, eliminates screw threads and wing nuts, and prevents gasket over-compression through a pre-set clamping force.

The company generates revenue primarily through direct sales of standardised hardware products via its e-commerce storefront (pure-lock.co.uk), complemented by phone and email sales for custom specifications, OEM/distributor pricing, and volume orders. Unit pricing is published for catalogue items (e.g., £9.75 for 1/2"–3/4" mini tri-clamps, £48.50 per pack of 25 high-purity gaskets, £201.80 per coil of USP Class VI braided silicone hose), while custom over-moulded assemblies are priced on request with a 10-unit minimum. All products conform to FDA, USP Class VI, ASME-BPE, EP 3.1.9, and TSE/Animal Free standards, and the company ships internationally via air or sea freight.

Pure-Lock targets enterprise customers in pharmaceutical manufacturing, vaccine production, fermentation, cell culture, and sterile fluid transfer applications. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and operates as an independent bootstrapped UK private limited company. Distribution is direct-to-customer with international shipping capability, supported by a light digital marketing presence across the company website, email newsletter, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.
