RUBBER SOLUTIONS FOR CONSUMER GOODS
We realize our customers’ visions by helping them turn their ideas into custom, profitable products.
Some of the most exciting rubber products we’ve created at Midwest Rubber were the result of collaborations between our own engineers and the many talented individuals in our client base. We are pleased to offer our services to inventors, entrepreneurs, and creative minds from across the country. Since we can customize our manufacturing process to a unique set of specifications, we have been able to bring a variety of original concepts to fruition.
Some examples of the consumer goods we have helped produce include sporting merchandise (such as a duck call), stadium cushions, fundraising items, protective equipment, and even a hockey training tool. Many of these are assembled using dip molding, foam molding, thermoset molding and roto-casting, which are just a few of the techniques Midwest Rubber utilizes.
When approaching consumer goods, we form a partnership with creators and work closely to maintain the integrity of their vision. Simultaneously, we make strategic choices in development to maximize the end result marketability and durability, as we do with all the rubber products we create. Seeing our clients’ ideas come to life is a fulfilling experience for us, and that’s why we do everything we can to help them succeed.
Our customer had a concept for a foot-operated duck call, which required significant redesign of a standard call. Our engineers researched and tested and came up with a bellows system that could be used hands-free and produced just the right range of calls that any duck hunter would want.
We helped bring our customer’s innovative concept for a hockey training tool to fruition. We worked together to develop the ideal material and form for a hockey puck rebounder, which is now used around the world and even by the Detroit Red Wings!
We created a stadium cushion that was a “winner.” Not only affordable, its vinyl seal was durable, washable, comfortable and waterproof, and came in a wide range of colors. The result was an ideal promotional product for our customer.
After his decoy molds were destroyed, we helped our client re-purpose some older materials so they could be used to make new molds for more than 10 different waterfowl species. We saved our customer time and money and helped give his new business a fresh start.
