Experienced HMI Switch Pad and Keypad Manufacturer

GS has made over 20,000 custom HMI switch pads and keypads that provide superior tactile feedback and durability compared to traditional plastic alternatives. These silicone keypads are ideal for automotive and industrial applications, providing enhanced resistance to environmental factors.

Silicone Hybrid Components With Metal and Plastic

GS’s hybrid components combine silicone, plastic, and metal to create high-performance solutions for automotive and electronic devices. This includes plastic housing with liquid sealing gaskets for vehicle chargers, ensuring optimal performance by integrating advanced materials. Silicone’s inherent advantages—such as high-temperature resistance, chemical resilience, and electrical insulation—make GS’s seal & gasket solutions essential for electronic and industrial applications.

Innovative Membrane Keypads and Decorative Films With Compo-SiL® Technology

In addition to its key solutions, GS will highlight Compo-SiL® products, offering enhanced functionality and flexibility:

Membrane Keypads: GS specializes in the design and manufacture of silicone keypads specifically engineered for medical devices, consumer electronics, and industrial control panels. The proprietary Compo-SiL® technology distinguishes GS within the industry by enabling the integration of resilient silicone overlays onto pre-existing PC/PET keypad membranes during mass production. This innovative approach yields exceptionally durable keypads, which are safeguarded by a silicone top layer, thereby producing a surface that significantly surpasses durability compared to those made from PET or PC materials alone.

Decorative Films: GS's silicone decorative films are perfect for automotive interfaces and a variety of applications across multiple industries. These films provide remarkable design flexibility and superior bonding capabilities with ABS and PC materials. With GS's innovative Compo-SiL® technology, customers can seamlessly integrate the advantages of silicone-based surface covers into nearly any substrate material.
