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.

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.
