American Rheinmetall is proud to announce the expansion of its rubber product portfolio as part of the company’s continued growth in the U.S. industrial and defense sectors, following its recent acquisition of Loc Performance. The expanded offerings include custom rubber compounding capabilities, proprietary formulas, and a wide range of rubber-based components engineered to meet the most demanding performance requirements across agriculture, construction, defense, and industrial markets.
This strategic growth positions American Rheinmetall as a vertically integrated supplier of high-performance rubber products from rubber compound mixing to finished goods, enabling tighter quality control, faster turnaround times, and a more streamlined customer experience.
“As part of the American Rheinmetall family, we bring together decades of experience in rubber compounding with world-class manufacturing infrastructure and a deep commitment to innovation,” said Tom Dawson, Account Executive for Compound Mix Products at American Rheinmetall’s St. Marys, OH facility. “We are excited to offer OEMs and end users a broader, more customizable range of rubber solutions than ever before.”
To showcase its expanded capabilities, American Rheinmetall will exhibit at the 2025 Global Polymer Summit, taking place September 8–11 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, OH. Attendees can visit Booth #1941 to explore the company’s innovative rubber compounding solutions and speak with Dawson and the team about partnership opportunities.
With more than 75 years of experience in rubber compounding expertise and manufacturing, American Rheinmetall continues to serve as a trusted partner in delivering mission-ready and market-ready solutions that exceed industry standards for durability, performance, and precision.
