About Carolina Custom Rubber

Carolina Custom Rubber has been a dedicated specialist in extruded rubber products since 1985. Operating out of Salisbury, North Carolina, the company has built a reputation for producing precision rubber profiles to exact specifications — serving industries that demand consistency, durability, and materials expertise.

Expertise in Rubber Extrusion

At the heart of Carolina Custom Rubber's business is the rubber extrusion process, a manufacturing method in which a heated, softened elastomeric compound is forced through a precision-shaped die to produce continuous profiles with a consistent cross-section. This technique enables highly accurate, repeatable shapes suited for sealing, gasketing, cushioning, and edge protection across automotive, industrial, and mechanical applications.

Carolina Custom Rubber works with a broad range of elastomer compounds, giving engineers and buyers the flexibility to match material properties to specific performance needs. Solid profiles are available in SBR, Neoprene, Nitrile, EPDM, Polyisoprene, and Silicone compounds, each offering distinct characteristics in terms of temperature resistance, chemical compatibility, and flexibility. For applications requiring lightweight compressibility, the company also produces closed-cell sponge profiles in Neoprene, EPDM, and Silicone — materials well suited for weatherstripping, vibration dampening, and sealing in automotive and industrial assemblies.

Standard and Custom Configurations

One of Carolina Custom Rubber's key strengths is its ability to produce both standard catalog profiles and fully custom-engineered configurations. Whether a project calls for a simple D-strip or a complex multi-lobe cross-section, the team works to meet dimensional requirements with manufacturing precision. This flexibility makes the brand a practical resource for both production runs and specialized applications where off-the-shelf solutions fall short.

Quality Manufacturing in North Carolina

With a 24,000 square foot manufacturing facility and a focused team, Carolina Custom Rubber emphasizes quality at every stage — from compound selection through final extrusion. The company's straightforward approach to customer service, quick response times, and commitment to accurate, on-time delivery have made it a trusted supplier in the rubber products space for four decades.
