What Timco Rubber Products does

Timco Rubber Products Inc. is a privately held, family-controlled U.S. supplier of custom-manufactured rubber and plastic parts, founded in 1956 and headquartered in Berea, Ohio, with a sales office in Houston, Texas and two Ohio warehouses. The company manufactures and sources parts across molding (compression, injection, transfer), extrusion, coextrusion, die cutting, lathe cutting, and rubber-to-metal bonding, drawing on a portfolio of more than 15 elastomer families including EPDM, silicone, neoprene, Viton, nitrile, butyl, natural rubber, TPE, and proprietary compounds such as the electrical-safety EPDM and the Timprene sub-brand. Its engineering capability is centered on custom compound formulation, dual durometer coextrusion, and design-for-manufacturing consultation integrated with the parts order.

The company operates as a single-source solution for OEMs and manufacturers, aggregating a domestic and offshore supplier network to deliver quote-based parts at a typical minimum order of $1,000, supplemented by value-added services such as subassembly, kit assembly, Kanban replenishment, and just-in-time delivery from its Ohio warehouses. Customers range from Fortune 500 enterprises to businesses with fewer than 20 employees, spanning HVAC, Tier 2 automotive, oil & gas, mining, marine, food preparation, solar and wind, electrical safety equipment, transit, industrial machinery, and home appliances. The go-to-market is sales-led: every inquiry begins with a conversation with a dedicated account representative, supported by an inbound content marketing engine (blog, SEO resource library, downloadable guides) and persistent Request-a-Quote CTAs across the website. The company is ISO 9001:2008 certified (2015 surveillance audit with no findings) and IMDS-registered for automotive material reporting, and remains under independent, founder-family ownership.
