Rubber compounds

Our decades of experience with rubber compounds makes ERIKS capable of designing and developing rubber parts of specific compounds, often in close cooperation with the customer. The possibilities are endless.

Prototyping of rubber mouldings

Where necessary, a rubber prototype can be made as ‘fit and feel’ sample. Production of very small to very large series of rubber mouldings is possible. Requirements  for specific market segments are no obstacle for ERIKS.
