What shielding solutions does

Shielding Solutions Ltd is a UK-based private B2B manufacturer of electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), environmental, and thermal shielding products, operating from a single manufacturing facility in Braintree, Essex since approximately 1995. Its core technology stack centres on conductive elastomer compounding, CNC-controlled form-in-place (FIP) gasket dispensing, conductive adhesives, woven/oriented/knitted wire gaskets, shielded windows and vents, conductive paints and coatings, and thermal interface materials, organised under eight proprietary brands (ACUShield, BONDShield, MONOShield, MULTIShield, SUPERShield, TWINShield, VUShield, WEAVERShield). In-house compounding allows the firm to formulate custom elastomer and FIP compounds for specific customer performance requirements, supporting 80-120dB shielding effectiveness and IP68 environmental sealing. The company also offers value-added services including design and development support, rapid prototyping via 3D printing, conductive painting, window and assembly bonding, and EMC compliance testing coordination.

The business model is direct B2B manufacturing with bespoke, quote-based pricing for both standard catalogue items and customised solutions, complemented by a three-distributor international channel covering the Far East (Affiniti International in Taiwan), DACH region (Germania Elektronik in Germany), and the USA (Speciality Silicone Products in Ballston Spa, NY). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales of shielding components and custom manufacturing services. Primary customer segments are aerospace and defence (requiring MIL-spec qualified materials such as MIL-DTL-83528 conductive elastomers), consumer electronics, medical and pharmaceutical device manufacturers, and industrial and telecommunications equipment makers. The company is ISO 9001:2015/2022, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified under UKAS-LRQA accreditation, holds UL94 V0 ratings on selected products, and meets ASTM E-595-07 low-outgassing requirements for space-grade applications. Operating geographies explicitly include the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the USA, and Taiwan, though no global footprint claim is made.
