Since Robert David Abbott founded it in 1948, R.D. Abbott Co. has built its identity around rubber-industry expertise and what it calls “applied curiosity.” The North American supplier helps manufacturers solve demanding elastomer design problems through technical guidance, laboratory work, and tailored materials, with a manufacturing arm in Ohio extending that work into custom silicone compounds. Its people-first mission and ISO 9001:2015-accredited design and development laboratory distinguish the company from a conventional distributor.
