Process Engineer in London

Elmelin’s origins as industrial insulation experts go back to 1912. Our approach today is agile, adaptable, forward-thinking and innovative. With a firm foundation in manufacturing, we combine the solid roots of an established business with the dynamism required to meet the ever-changing challenges of the modern industrial landscape.

The business developed from a site processing mica in Walthamstow, London in 1912. We are proud of this heritage. Our current business has evolved on this site, with its own bespoke machinery and processing facilities. Over the years, we have broadened what we offer, from pure mica applications to high temperature thermal and electrical solutions.

To help us do this, we have a dedicated workforce of multi-skilled operators and craftsmen, many with long service. We are dedicated to continuity, so the current generation in the business ensures their skills are passed to the next.

Not only does Elmelin specialise in Mica insulation and industrial laminates, but we also offer a range of non-Mica-based products, including Elmtherm microporous insulation, gasketing and waterproofing applications. This diversification is part of our flexible, responsive strategy, fulfilling the needs of our customers. We listen, we research, develop, prototype and implement.

Elmelin serves and supports many different industries, and we can offer both off-the-shelf products and bespoke insulation solutions. Our products include flexible laminates for the foundry and steel industries, rigid Mica sheets and tubes, and both pure and combined Mica-based insulation. We also use innovative microporous technology to produce a specialised range of materials with exceptional high temperature insulating properties. These have diverse applications, from aerospace to domestic appliances.

We help our customers keep their costs down while improving their performance by providing them with products that will enhance what they do. Therefore, we strive to continually refine and improve what we can offer to them. We ensure that the solution they need is exactly the right fit for their business.

Industrial insulation is essential because it optimises efficiency and can result in significant savings through accurate thermal regulation. It is also about ensuring safety alongside efficiency and innovation. We believe in excellence in insulation to support industry.

Being based in mixed residential and industrial areas, we are very aware of our environmental responsibilities and the potential impact we might have. Therefore, we continually look at ways to lessen this impact, while ensuring we do not disturb our residential neighbours. Consequently, we have invested in state-of-the-art emission purification equipment, conforming to current European standards.

Elmelin is built on innovation and technical know-how, we are experiencing a great interest and demand for our tailor-made insulation products and are on track to double in size. We are proud of what we have achieved, and we are ambitious about the future. We are confident that we are looking at a wealth of opportunities with what we already have and with what we are willing to invest in both machinery and talent.

We are always keen to hear from people who want to explore new ways of doing things and like experimenting with technology and products to help customers solve their problems.
