About Us
ELBEX Corporation was incorporated in November 1991 in Kent, Ohio. Operations began in a facility of Seal Master Corporation, a sister company manufacturing inflatable rubber sealing products. Initially, ELBEX provided custom rubber extrusions to Seal Master.
ELBEX moved into its own manufacturing plant in 1999, a newly constructed 34,000 square-foot facility located in the Seal Master campus. In addition to supplying extrusions to Seal Master, ELBEX launched its manufacturing program into diversified markets including:
- Architectural Glazing
- Automotive
- Construction
- Container Gasket
- General Industrial
- Pipe Gasket
- Railway/Mass Transit
- Water Control
Today, ELBEX Corporation is a leader in rubber extrusion, offering custom and standard formulations in dense, sponge, natural rubber, Polyisoprene, EPDM, Neoprene (Polychloroprene), Nitrile (Buna-N), Butyl, SBR and Silicone; the latter of which ELBEX formulates and mixes on site. ELBEX maintains a 100,000 pound capacity “cold room” to inventory compounds for production.
In addition to large volume extrusion capabilities, ELBEX also provides key secondary fabrication services, including splicing, in-line cutting, taping (featuring H.A.T.S., Heat-Activated Taping Systems). ELBEX designs and builds it’s own extrusion dies and fabricates most of its auxiliary production equipment and
tooling in-house.
