COMTECH SATELLITE
"Zippertubing design engineers provided materials samples quickly that we were able to use in troubleshooting a production issue. One sample of thermal insulating material from Zippertubing helped solve our problem to protect the components from the high temperatures they were being exposed to during rework of other components nearby."

MILLER EDGE, INC.
"I engaged Zippertubing on a development project after careful review of their online products and capabilities. Matt and his team met with me and provided hands-on review and technical details of existing products and their impressive library of material samples. They offer robust protective coverings made from natural and synthetic fabrics, metal and polymer foils and films and a huge assortment of engineered structures developed for specific functions such as puncture and abrasion resistance, EMI shielding and more. We talked about our product performance demands and cost considerations. We also reviewed conceptual design details about our vision of the finished product. Just a week later Matt called me back for another meeting where I was shown actual proof of concept assemblies as well as functional prototypes. It took a few more iterations to iron out details, but the Zippertubing engineering and sales experts were able to develop timely and cost effective protective covering solutions to our demanding performance requirements. 10 out of 10.

GLOBAL AEROSPACE
"We recently worked with Zippertubing® on the design of a submerged fuel hose system for the Navy. Zippertubing® was responsible for the design and fabrication of engineering model hardware that we used for mechanical property testing. In addition, they designed and fabricated 450 feet of prototype hardware that was delivered to the Navy for eventual ocean testing. We were impressed with the creativity and expertise of the design and production engineers and Zippertubing®’s willingness to go the extra mile. We would highly recommend Zippertubing® to other companies seeking innovative solutions to challenging problems."
