EXPLORE

A Leader In Innovation Since 1980

Gulf Rubber was founded in 1980 as a trading operation to supply moulded rubber components.

After 5 years in the industry, it became clear our customers were searching for more than just rubber – they needed a reliable, long-term partner to provide precision solutions and cutting-edge design.

So, in 1985, we built a state-of-the-art R&D facility, and a culture of innovation was born.
