Specialty Silicone expands in Paso Robles
Specialty Silicone Fabricators, a firm that makes parts for high-tech medical devices, is building a 120,000-square-foot facility near Paso Robles Municipal Airport. It’s the largest manufacturing building project in San Luis Obispo County in years.
The building’s walls and roof are finished, with work continuing inside on a massive state-of-the-art manufacturing floor that will meet clean-room standards for devices that are implanted in patients’ bodies. The facility is slated to be finished next year and will bring Specialty Silicone’s 200 San Luis Obispo County employees under one roof.
