No matter what type of rubber you need, we can produce it
At RUSTIN, we specialise in the production of technical rubber, and have a great deal of experience in innovating to create bespoke blends and products.
Over the past 50 years, our company has met the most demanding of requirements
In-house design and manufacturing
Unlike other rubber manufacturers, everything we do is housed under one roof.
Our elastomer blends are developed and manufactured on-site in order to give our clients the very best in terms of traceability, quality, productivity and cost. We also develop our own tools, enabling us to manufacture exclusive finish products.
Human and technological resources
Our highly-qualified engineers are responsible for producing rubber blends and developing dies and tools in-house. The expertise and technology we have in-house means we are able to manufacture even the most complex extruded or moulded rubber parts, as well as original equipment parts.
Products
Rustin rubber products are designed for the most demanding of applications – waterproofing, sealing, joints, protection, containment – while complying with specific standards. We produce rubber components for use in road transport, public transport, passenger rail and air transport.
Quality
The fact that the development and the production of our elastomers all takes place on the same site allows us to keep a close eye on everything and make quick changes to the composition of mixes and materials, in addition to overseeing the finished product.
Our experienced production personnel are familiar with high-end quality control, delivering a unique service for clients worldwide.
