June 2009: With the economy still teetering and no happy ending in site for major U.S. auto makers and banks, it's easy for smaller manufacturing companies to feel uncertain about the future.

But here at Monmouth we don't worry; we execute the plan that we've had from Day 1, the same plan that has ensured our success as a Neoprene rubber manufacturer from the very start.

We succeed because of the following principles:

Lean manufacturing - Just-in-time delivery and a multi-skilled, flexible empowered workforce are just two of the lean manufacturing practices that enable us to meet our customers' needs every day.

Low operating costs - With 33,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space, along with another 20,000 sq. ft. of warehouse, testing and administrative space, we manage our resources carefully, buying natural gas wholesale at the wellhead and carefully negotiating other energy prices.

High technology - Our team's hands-on shop floor experience, laboratory expertise, and training and formal technical education have produced an impressive array of technology firsts.

Product innovation - From developing the first commercial, low density, Neoprene/SBR blend for the industrial and automotive markets to creating a sustainable recycling initiative, we've continued to innovate and bring new products and programs to market.

As other Neoprene rubber manufacturers have fallen by the wayside, Monmouth Rubber has operated within its principles and thrived.

But we've been careful not to grow too big, too fast. We're small enough - and smart enough - to tailor our Neoprene rubber products to meet each client's needs.
