Two Years of Precision: Rubberatkins’ Conroe Manufacturing Milestone
Rubberatkins Conroe, Texas, is celebrating the second anniversary of manufacturing in its US facility. This milestone underscores the company’s successful strategic expansion into the American market, aligning with shifting global trade dynamics and the demand for localised, resilient supply chain.
In February 2023, Rubberatkins commenced production at its Conroe facility, marking its first manufacturing operation outside the United Kingdom. This move was driven by increasing requests from a growing client base in the United States of America for domestically produced, elastomer components. The Conroe site enables Rubberatkins to globally deliver rapid, end-to-end solutions from design to testing tailored to the needs of industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, and semiconductors.
The facility’s establishment coincided with Rubberatkins over three decades of manufacturing, symbolising a commitment to innovation and customer-centric growth.
The manufacturing expansion into the US market reflects Rubberatkins proactive approach to evolving trade landscapes. This strategic positioning not only enhances service responsiveness but also aligns with the company’s ethos of building strong, adaptable partnerships in the face of global uncertainties.
Recognition and Future Outlook
Rubberatkins’ international growth and commitment to excellence were recently recogniseded with the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade in 2025.
“The Conroe site represents a strategic investment in our ability to globally deliver faster, more integrated solutions for our clients,” said Andy More, CEO of Rubberatkins.
“By bringing manufacturing to Conroe, we’re able to respond to the needs of our clients across oil and gas, aerospace, and semiconductor industries with greater speed and precision than ever before.” He concludes.
With a portfolio of proprietary materials like VERMANITE® and SULFANITE®, and a focus on sectors demanding high-performance solutions, Rubberatkins is well-positioned to meet the challenges of a dynamic global market.
