OUR HISTORY
ESTABLISHED: 1946
Midwest Rubber Company was founded in the post-World War II boom years in Detroit, Michigan. Supplying a variety of parts to Detroit’s Big Three, our primary focus was serving the automotive industry.
EXPANSION: 1958
Within 12 years, business demands and opportunities in new industries caused us to outgrow our Detroit facilities, so we relocated to the rural farming community of Deckerville, Michigan.
MORE GROWTH: 2003
New partnerships brought increased capabilities and success while we continued to nurture our greatest asset: the combined knowledge and skills of our highly skilled workforce, which often spans 3 generations of dedicated Midwest Rubber employees.
ONGOING INNOVATION: TODAY
Every project and customer is unique. Accordingly, processes and design standards must evolve over time to keep companies on the leading edge. Midwest Rubber combines time-honored techniques with leading-edge engineering to design and manufacture the most efficient and innovative products on the market.
