What is Rubber Development?
Rubber Development operates as a specialized manufacturer of high-performance rubber and plastic components, tracing its lineage back to the 1989 founding of Henrich Rubber Company. The firm distinguishes itself through proprietary chemical formulations designed to provide high-tensile strength without leaving residue or discoloration on sensitive materials like wood moulding. Following its 2006 acquisition of Henrich, the company has diversified its portfolio to include anchor bands for agricultural sectors, such as vineyards and nurseries, alongside critical shipping protection solutions like hinge bumpers and door plugs for the pre-hung door industry. Its market position is defined by a focus on durability and non-reactive material properties, serving as a vital partner for manufacturers requiring reliable bundling and protective hardware.
