The future looks bright for Stockwell Elastomerics, which recently constructed a new $3.9 million facility to increase raw material capacity at its Philadelphia campus.
PHILADELPHIA For the first time since the company began in 1919, Stockwell Elastomerics Inc. will be led by a president with a surname other than Stockwell.
Thomas Rimel Jr., who took the reigns at the high-performance silicone rubber gasket and material solutions firm Jan. 25, might be bucking four generations of succession, but his breadth of experience, customer-centric attitude and lead-by-example philosophy otherwise are perfectly in line with the 102-year Stockwell legacy. We initially focused the search on candidates in the converting or silicone molding industry, said William Stockwell, who will continue to serve as chief technical officer. I met some fine people, but I was still looking for the ideal candidate when I was introduced to Tom Rimel.
