With our distributor/fabricator relationships building, we became actively involved with NIBA – The Belting Association. Many of the members dabble in fabrication, but are pressed to maximize profit per square foot. Equipment, space requirements and experienced personnel are higher cost than inventory racking that can be turned multiple times a year.

A very large distributor with a segmented rubber fabrication division decides it is no longer cost effective to keep that division in house. They expanded their trust in RK RUBBER and decided to shut down their shop. RK acquires an 18-foot longitudinal press, an eight-foot longitudinal press, a boloney slitter and other equipment.
