About Hutchinson

Founded in 1853 and headquartered in Paris, France, Hutchinson has spent more than 170 years mastering the science of rubber, elastomeric, thermoplastic, and advanced polymer materials. Today the company employs roughly 38,000 people across 25 countries, supplying precision-engineered components to automotive OEMs, military programs, aerospace customers, and beyond. That global manufacturing footprint means Hutchinson parts are frequently the same components installed on vehicles at the factory — built to the same tolerances and material specifications as original equipment.

Vibration Control: The Core of Hutchinson's Automotive Expertise

Hutchinson's most recognized contribution to the automotive world is vibration and noise isolation. Their engine mounts and motor mounts are engineered to absorb the constant dynamic forces an engine generates — dampening vibration before it travels through the chassis and into the cabin. Because Hutchinson designs the rubber compounds and geometric profiles of these mounts in-house, they can tune stiffness, durability, and isolation characteristics precisely for each vehicle application. The result is a part that delivers OE-quality ride quality and longevity.

Closely related are Hutchinson's engine torque struts, which work alongside engine mounts to control powertrain movement under hard acceleration and braking. These components must endure tremendous cyclical loads without fatiguing — a challenge Hutchinson meets through decades of polymer research and rigorous real-world validation.

Fluid Management: Keeping Engines Cool

Beyond vibration control, Hutchinson brings that same materials expertise to fluid management. Their radiator coolant hoses are engineered to handle extreme thermal cycling — from cold winter starts to sustained high-temperature operation — while resisting the chemical degradation that glycol-based coolants cause over time. As a major OEM rubber supplier, Hutchinson produces these hoses to meet or exceed factory specifications, making them a reliable choice for maintenance and repair.

Wheel Bead Locks: Proven in the Most Demanding Conditions

Hutchinson's automotive expertise extends well beyond the engine bay. Their wheel bead locks are standard equipment on military platforms worldwide and are also available for commercial and off-road vehicles. The internal double bead lock design secures tire beads to the rim even at dramatically reduced or zero pressure, enabling safe low-pressure operation for improved traction in mud, sand, and snow without the risk of a tire unseating from the wheel. The system complies with all major industry rim standards and is compatible with all leading tire brands.
