HOLZ expansion joints benefit highly from expert design and manufacturing

HOLZ's high-quality expansion joints are available from NISCO.

When manufacturers and other companies need quality expansion joints to keep machinery and equipment functioning at the top of their ability, they turn to HOLZ Rubber Company. This Lodi, CA producer, whose expansion joints are available in Canada from Northern Industrial Supply Company (NISCO), builds joints to accommodate ultra-high movement scenarios with durability and flexibility, as well as vibration, noise, and corrosion resistance.

Whether working with piping, flue-duct, high-temperature, or metallic joints, a workplace that invests in HOLZ’s quality expansion joints knows they have been produced with extensive expertise, high engineering capabilities, and strict quality control.

Seventy years of experience

HOLZ’s expertise in engineering and manufacturing polymer products should come as no surprise, since the company has been doing it for more than 70 years. Its unmatched knowledge of polymer science enables it to overcome many application-specific challenges, and its in-house capabilities allow it to cover the whole joint-producing process, from developing compounds to tooling, curing, and quality assurance. As a result, HOLZ has developed an international reputation for offering top engineering skills at competitive prices.

To make the quality expansion joints that NISCO supplies, HOLZ designs all the tools it needs in-house, even fabricating the majority of them. These engineering skills include Auto-Cad and SolidWorks drafting, mould design, compound development, in-house laboratory, and part development assistance. These capabilities result in high tool quality, low prices for clients, and punctual delivery, and HOLZ makes its research and development facilities available to customers who need custom-designed joints to accommodate specific needs.

Finally, HOLZ expansion joints would not be as good as they are without a stringent quality-control process. The company uses best practices of the industry, conducting rubber tests for cured and uncured properties, while complying fully with the MIL I-45208A standard. HOLZ also monitors the whole manufacturing process with thorough documentation, such as receiving inspection, process controls, first article inspection, and final reviews of conformance to the client’s requirements.

Expertise, engineering skills, and a dedication to high quality: these are the reasons why HOLZ expansion joints are reliable, long-lasting, and the best on the market.
