With over 75 years of rubber compounding expertise, American Rheinmetall now offers vertically integrated solutions for OEMs and end users in agriculture, construction, defense, and industrial markets
American Rheinmetall announced on July 8 the expansion of its rubber product portfolio as part of the company’s continued growth in the U.S. industrial and defense sectors, following its recent acquisition of Loc Performance. The expanded offerings include custom rubber compounding capabilities, proprietary formulas, and a wide range of rubber-based components engineered to meet the most demanding performance requirements across agriculture, construction, defense, and industrial markets.

To showcase its expanded capabilities, American Rheinmetall will exhibit at the 2025 Global Polymer Summit, taking place September 8–11 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, OH. Attendees can visit Booth #1941 to explore the company’s innovative rubber compounding solutions and speak with Dawson and the team about partnership opportunities.
