Custom Rubber Corp Revenue and Competitors

Additionally, although Johnson Rubber and Norbalt Rubber developed their own formulas which will not be available after the facility closes, Custom Rubber Corp. works with a number of material suppliers and will be able to develop and submit for approval alternate compounds with very short turnaround. In October, 2003, Castle Rubber closed their doors, and Custom Rubber Corp. was there to assist Castle's old customers in securing needed product. Custom Rubber Corp. is thrilled to say that more than 15 former Castle Rubber customers are now pleased to call themselves customers of Custom Rubber Corp. As a result of the difficult economy and rising raw material prices, the molded rubber industry continues to be plagued by bankruptcies. In Toledo, Ohio, Plabell Rubber Products Co. closed their doors with no news on whether operations will continue. Unfortunately, many of the customer-owned tooling in the facility may never be recovered by Plabell's customers. If you were formerly supplied by Plabell Rubber Products, please don't hesitate to contact Custom Rubber Corp. Plabell was a quality producer of rubber products for appliance manufacturers and other general industries. Plabell's role in the local Toledo economy will be missed, but Custom Rubber Corp. is located in Cleveland—which is only 1-1/2 hours from Toledo—so freight costs should be very competitive to what Plabell's customers were used to paying. Custom Rubber Corp. has equipment that is similar to Plabell Rubber's, including injection molding machines and compression machines. Plabell supplied parts that were injection molded, transfer molded and compression molded with a variety of rubber materials; Custom Rubber can meet or exceed any material requirements and may be able to recommend an alternate manufacturing process (explore injection molding instead of compression molding) to maintain cost competitiveness. Another company, Nazar Rubber Co. in Toledo, Ohio, also closed their doors after more than 57 years. Nazar produced industrial rubber products for a wide range of business. Custom Rubber's customer base is similar; we service customers who buy anywhere from five pieces per year to over one million pieces per year. If you were purchasing products from Nazar Rubber, please don't hesitate to contact Custom Rubber Corp. to see how we can assist you in securing the rubber components you require. At Custom Rubber, we never like to see other rubber companies go out of business. But our number one priority is our customers, and we really hate seeing customers from companies like Plabell Rubber Products and Nazar Rubber have to scramble to find alternate suppliers. Don't hesitate to contact Custom Rubber Corp.
