Custom Moulded Rubber for F1 World Champions

When we say that we create world-beating custom moulded rubber components here at TRP Polymer Solutions, we really mean it. Because our technical moulded rubber products were one of the driving forces behind the all-conquering success of F1 World Champions, Mercedes AMG, and their Driver’s Champion, Nico Rosberg, and runner-up, Lewis Hamilton.

Custom Moulded Rubber Components

There can’t be many companies that can lay claim to contributing to the success of not just one but two World Champions. TRP Polymer Solutions can do just that. Our custom moulded rubber components provided the critical performance and reliability required for Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains (HPP) to retain their Constructor’s Championship and catapult Nico Rosberg to a maiden Driver’s Championship – hotly pursued by teammate, Lewis Hamilton.
