About Us

The Rubber Consortium (TRC) was established in 2000 by our President Tom Rothing. With the advent of new rubber compounding and molding techniques, tighter quality standards, stricter importing laws, and just-in-time inventories, today’s industrial distributor is faced with a variety of challenges. The TRC team is well prepared to help you meet these challenges by providing the highest quality manufactured goods, and fast, friendly, and efficient customer service.

The keyword for The Rubber Consortium is “TEAM”. In these volatile economic and social times it is more important than ever to work together as a team. The concept of “TEAM” is the basis for The Rubber Consortium. The word “Consortium”, a Latin word originating in the 1800s is defined as: “A combination or group (as of companies) formed to undertake an enterprise beyond the resources of any one group member.” This definition summarizes the mission of The Rubber Consortium. Our goal is to work together with numerous distributors and manufacturers so that each member can benefit from the same large volume purchasing power the bigger rubber companies enjoy. The larger our “TEAM” gets, the greater each company’s purchasing power becomes. Give us a call today to find out how The Rubber Consortium can assist you in your purchasing needs.
