Transfer molding
The Rubber Group specializes in precision transfer molding, delivering highperformance rubber components with tight tolerances and exceptional quality for demanding industries.
The Rubber Group excels in transfer molding, a precise manufacturing process that
enables the production of intricate rubber components with tight tolerances,
complex geometries, and exceptional dimensional stability. This method is ideal for
parts with embedded metal inserts, electrical connectors, and complex shapes,
serving industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial
equipment.
By carefully controlling transfer pressures, temperatures, and cure times,
we ensure superior accuracy, minimal waste, and consistent quality across
production runs. With expertise in materials like silicone, EPDM, and
fluoroelastomers, The Rubber Group also offers secondary services such as precision
trimming, bonding, and post-curing, delivering high-performance solutions for the
most demanding applications.
