Injection Molding
Custom Rubber Injection Molding Manufacturer
Lake Erie Rubber is a custom rubber manufacturer that specializes in rubber molding processes including injection molding. Our large injection presses give us the flexibility to produce a wide range of products for a variety of industries. This allows us to produce large parts or smaller parts in higher cavitation molds for improved cost and shorter lead times. Our stable, localized, and responsive supply chain reliably provides us with the supplies we need to keep lead times short and produce the best possible products. In addition, our engineering and design staff can provide high-quality technical and design support. With over 60 years of experience supplying components for OEM manufacturers and distributors, Lake Erie Rubber is your best option for custom rubber parts made in the United States.
We provide custom rubber injection molding to companies in many different markets, including the rail, mining, construction, vibration control, oil and gas, and pet product industries. Lake Erie Rubber has helped re-shore major programs that had been overseas for decades. We’ve done this by reverse engineering materials, developing new and more efficient tooling, and smoothly transitioning the supply of parts back to the United States. Our efficient and focused work has led to customers having drastically shorter lead times, improved technical support, and improved product quality.

What is Injection Molding?
Injection molding is a manufacturing process used for producing industrial parts. It is done by injecting material into a mold, where it stays for a set amount of time until it vulcanizes into its final shape. Injection molding can be done with many different materials, including rubber, metals, glass, and other materials. Lake Erie Rubber specializes in injection molding for rubber parts. Injection molding is often used for mass production of parts, where a part needs to be reproduced up to millions of times. This is because injection molding is a relatively quick, repeatable, and efficient process, and production costs are very low once the initial mold is created.
