Full Job Description

WHO WE ARE
Specialty Silicone Products, Inc. (SSP) (A HEICO Company) was founded in 1989 by four employees of GE Silicones. They recognized that several niche markets were emerging based on silicone technology and no commercial solution existed to meet this growing demand.

They combined their experience to design and manufacture EMI/RFI Conductive Silicones for Electronics/Military applications; Silicone/PTFE Septa closures and cap mats for analytical testing; and aerospace/USP-Class VI medical-grade silicones for Industrial Gasket Fabricators.

SSP is proud to be an ISO 9001 certified company as we celebrate our 37th year in business (2026), with a reputation for developing “Silicones that Work” and delivering them to our customers with speed, flexibility, and service. Our total facility footprint is now 54,000 square feet located at 3 McCrea Hill Road in the Corporate Technology Park, Ballston Spa, NY, a beautiful rural industrial park setting just off Route 50.
