Company History.
AS Rubber & Plastics Limited was established in 1996 by Arthur Weale who had over twenty-five years experience in the industry sector.
The main core activity of the business was the distribution of plain and adhesive coated cellular foam, with the primary material at that time being PVC foam supplied by our business partners the Italian foam producers Copescoat, into sectors such as automotive, construction, HVAC, medical, electrical and engineering.
As a result of the company’s continued growth by the end of 2001 AS Rubber & Plastics reached full capacity and moved to a double unit with over 16000 square feet, with integrated offices and space for its own machinery investment which included laminators and log cutters.
The company’s staff and turnover grew in the UK and extended to exports, and AS Rubber & Plastics were presented with the Innercity 100 Award in November 2002.
Our product range continued to diversify further in 2004 when the company employed further Sales staff from within the Rubber and Foam Industry which helped the company to increase its manufacturing business further.
With the continued growth of AS Rubber & Plastics Ltd in October 2011 the company relocated to new premises in West Bromwich. The relocation gave us a much improved working environment and capacity for the continual growth of the business.
The company has continued to invest in new machinery, we have improved our lamination and log cutting capabilities and we have a state of the art foam and adhesive slit rewinder machine which has increased capacity in what has become a very important part of the business.
We have developed our glazing tape range which has allowed us to branch into new and exciting markets in the UK and abroad and our adhesive tape can be supplied in various formats such as cut rolls and finger lift rolls.
Located in the heart of the West Midlands Motorway network our 7.5 tonne vehicle gives us the flexibility to deliver our product on time and also gives our customers peace of mind that it will not be damaged in transit.
At AS Rubber & Plastics we pride ourselves on excellent customer service and always supplying a quality product on time.
