Why Si-TECH is an ITAR Certified Molding Company

In short, we like compliance. We like knowing we’re at the top of our game when it comes to supporting our contractors with durable silicone products. In order to do that, we have to be ITAR compliant. So, what does that mean exactly? Our clients know how vital ITAR compliance is to their bottom line, which is why we offer silicone solutions that make their jobs easier.

The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a set of government rules responsible for controlling the export and import of defense-related services, products and technologies that are shown on the U.S. Munitions List (USML). These requirements go a long way toward ensuring defense technology and related technical information stays confidential and private. In the wrong hands, this could spell disaster.

Cutting Corners is Not an Option

Our custom silicone keypads are always fully ITAR-compliant, despite not being specifically listed on the United States Munitions List (USML). That being said, they must be ITAR compliant if used on a USML system. If you follow the rules, you can’t get into trouble. We feel the same way about ourselves.

As a business, you should always ensure the subcontractors you use are ITAR compliant. Don’t think just because you are a small company that you can claim ignorance of ITAR. The government is on the lookout for these transgressions and will be swift to enforce the rules.

We’re an American Company

As an American-owned company, we are proud to guarantee that our components are manufactured at our plant in Virginia. This gives us complete control over the parts we use and their intended use. If your company is ITAR compliant, using foreign components that you aren’t sure are compliant can put your whole operation in jeopardy.

We Work With the Military

Because we extensively work with the military, we feel a duty to ensure everything we produce for military purposes is ITAR compliant. We design and manufacture our products in one of the most military-rich communities in the USA, from our headquarters in Newport News, VA. Accuracy…reliability…timeliness: these are all important to our military contractors, which is why it’s important to us too.

We Have Durable Products

When you contract with SiTECH, you know the silicone products you’re getting are military-grade tough. They’re dependable, they won’t quit, and they can make it through just about any environment. Our patriotic spirit is seen in our American manufacturing as we lead the future in terms of the silicone parts industry, from custom keypads to silicone components for equipment.

Choosing a manufacturer that knows the importance of ITAR compliance will only serve you better in the future. Serving the armed forces with quality liquid silicone keypads: it’s just what we do. And that’s why we are an ITAR certified molding company. Learn more about ITAR compliance and how it can help you by getting in touch today at 757-887-8488.
