Allstates Rubber & Tool Corp.

What Allstates Rubber & Tool Corp. does

Allstates Rubber & Tool Corp. is a family-owned custom rubber products manufacturer founded in 1968 and headquartered in Tinley Park, Illinois. The company produces custom molded, extruded, and fabricated rubber components alongside a stocked catalog of over 2,500 standard parts including grommets, gaskets, O-rings, bumpers, bushings, motor mounts, seals, stoppers, and balls. Manufacturing capabilities span injection, transfer, compression, and insert molding (3/16" to 40" size range), custom rubber extrusion (3/64" to 3-1/2" cross-sections), custom thermoplastic extrusion, and fabrication services including grinding, drilling, and die-cutting.

The company's technical differentiation rests on proprietary processes such as flashless molding for geometric precision, multi-plate mold designs with zero-drift core pin anchoring, and microwave-cured extrusion. It holds ISO 9001:2008 certification as a manufacturer, warehouser, and distributor, along with MIL-G-3036 and MS 28775 certifications for military-grade grommets and O-rings. An in-house tool shop and a quote-based custom engineering workflow allow modification of existing tooling for low-volume production, with documented lead times of 4-10 weeks standard and as fast as 2 weeks expedited.

Revenue is generated through direct sales across industrial manufacturing, transportation and heavy equipment, medical devices, military/defense, food processing/mining, and musical instruments segments. Distribution channels include an e-commerce catalog, JIT delivery, and Kanban replenishment programs. The firm serves customers in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia through direct sales. Currently led by second-generation owners Mike Burke (President) and Bill Burke (VP/GM), the company operates with 1-10 employees and no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership.
