At TRP, we support the rubber moulding design process from concept through to production. Working in close collaboration with our customers to develop high-quality technical solutions, we will support each stage of your development project, utilising the skills and knowledge of our experienced polymer technologists.

TRP’s manufacturing process of rubber parts from start to finish

At TRP Polymer Solutions, we can support your project through from start to finish. The rubber product manufacturing process involves various stages, including:

• Specification, development, and testing of new materials for your application.
• This is then followed by the production of prototype samples for evaluation and testing.
• Once approved, we can then proceed with manufacturing and commissioning tooling for production.

We are happy to work with you at all stages of the design process to suit your individual requirements.
