The Specialized Engineering
Story
Specialized Engineering began in Palo Alto in 1996 with one Harrel extruder and one employee. With a reputation for high quality and quick turn around we quickly built up a tier-one client base.
In 2000, Specialized purchased another Harrel extruder and the company moved to its present location in Stockton, CA. With ISO 9001/2000 certification, Specialized has dedicated its mission to quality manufacturing and management processes.
For the quickest turn around in the
Medical Extrusion Industry while
meeting your precise quality expectations, Specialized Engineering delivers
