​Lake Erie Rubber’s history as a rubber molding company for custom projects spans over six decades. This multi-generational, family-owned manufacturing company is dedicated to fast turnaround times, ISO-certified quality standards, and thorough engineering support and technical solutions that provide cost savings to our customers. Our Erie, Pennsylvania, facility possesses a leading collection of rubber molding equipment that allows us to deliver competitive pricing and turnaround times on demanding projects, even with challenging elastomers like FKM (Viton), NBR, silicon, and natural rubber.

We started in 1961, spanning two generations of the original family ownership. In 2017, the company was purchased by its current owner. The selling family wanted to be sure the company would remain in Erie, and the current employees would be maintained. That’s exactly what happened. Focusing on employee engagement, lean manufacturing, and customer service has led Lake Erie Rubber to multiple years of growth in a row since the purchase in 2017. Now, with a growing staff and an industry-leading assortment of advanced equipment, Lake Erie Rubber has become a top rubber molding company for custom projects serving clients in the power generation, mining, rail, transportation, aviation, and consumer goods industries.
