Originally, the flow of information was predominantly from PLASSON Ltd. to Rion, reflecting the dynamic relationship between the parent company, Plasson, and its subsidiary, Rion. Over time, this #communication exchange has become reciprocal. In addition to sharing technical insights and utilizing our mold plant for logistics, we significantly contribute to procurement and logistics experience activities through our subcontracting endeavors. These practices, which started at Rion, now play a pivotal role in benefiting Plasson, particularly in navigating the current complexities of global supply chains. #plasticsindustry #injectionmolding

Taking a look back in history to 2001, when Negri Bossi made a significant move in the molding industry by launching a new line of all-electric machines. These machines were designed to provide a higher level of precision, energy efficiency, and sustainability compared to traditional machines. With this new line of machines, Negri Bossi was able to offer its customers a wider range of options that catered to their specific molding needs. Furthermore, in its efforts to expand its product portfolio, Negri Bossi acquired OIMA, a company that specializes in the production of high-speed injection molding machines for the packaging industry. This acquisition allowed Negri Bossi to enter the packaging market and offer a line of high-speed injection molding machines that meet the industry's stringent requirements for quality, precision, and speed. #negribossi #history #injectionmolding

Most people are celebrating Pi Day, and do NOT get us wrong… We love all forms of pie. But it’s also #NationalWriteYourStoryDay and we wanted to use the opportunity to tell you a little bit of Marco’s story. In 1978, a small distributor of rubber products started serving local industries. They were called Marine Aerospace Rubber Company. In the 80s, they expanded their offerings and established a reputation for delivering high-quality molded elastomer parts in multiple industries. In the 90s, this little company had expanded rapidly and served way more than the aerospace and marine industries. Thus, they changed their name, and Marco Rubber & Plastics was officially born. We became early adopters of modern technology and launched our ecommerce platform way back in 2001. A few years later, we had fully established our in-house testing and quality control laboratory to maintain our reputation of rigorous quality standards. In 2010, Markez® was born. Markez marks a major transformation in our company. This affordable FFKM would provide an alternative to those of competitors while cementing Marco Rubber as innovators in the industry. Over the last decade, we have remained dedicated to innovating and expanding our slate of solutions for our customers. We have acquired numerous organizations that offer boutique or specialized solutions to ensure we can be your one-stop-shop for sealing needs. These acquisitions include American Seal & Packing, Anchor Rubber Products, IPOTEC, Jet Gasket, Allied Metrics, and more. Now, we have served over 14,000 repeat customers with a 99.9% acceptance rate and over 93% on time in full deliveries. We have also secured our ISO 9001:2015 certification, demonstrating our dedication to excellence and quality. So you can see that, while we love pie (and pi), we also love celebrating the history of Marco Rubber and our dedication to innovation. It’s all in our story. #MarcoRubber #MarcoGroup #SealingSolutions #IndustrialSealing
