Julio La Torre

Julio is a physician entrepreneur with a career spanning medicine, medical device innovation, and business strategy. He holds an MBA from UCLA Anderson and focuses on business management, growth, and partnerships at Custom Connect Innovations.

His clinical and entrepreneurial background brings a unique lens to product quality, customer needs, and how we build long-term relationships with the partners we serve.

Michael and Julio have been friends for over 30 years. That trust — and a shared commitment to doing things right — is the foundation of everything we make.

What We Do

Capabilities that match your specs.

From prototype to production, we deliver custom-molded rubber components engineered for the toughest applications.

01

Custom Transfer & Compression Molding

Precision transfer and compression molded parts in a wide range of elastomers — built to your drawing, your tolerance, your application.

02

High-Pressure Components

Bulkhead penetrators, seals, and bushings engineered to perform reliably under extreme pressure and harsh environments.

03

Material Selection

Silicone, EPDM, Nitrile, Viton®, Neoprene, Natural Rubber and more — matched to your operating conditions.

04

Prototype to Production

Rapid prototyping and short-run tooling that scales smoothly to full production volumes when you're ready.

05

Custom Tooling Design

In-house tooling design and engineering support so your part is manufacturable, repeatable, and cost-effective.
