Harboro moulds components in every commercially available rubber polymer, from Natural rubber and EPDM to Nitrile, Silicone and Viton®. All our products are custom moulded to designs provided by, or developed with, our customers. Our staff have extensive skills in both design and manufacture, and we have our own in-house rubber chemists, rubber engineers, and a development laboratory. There are alternative names for many polymers, so don’t be confused if something you are looking for isn’t listed. Contact us to discuss your requirements, and we’ll advise you on the correct materials.
Our facility can work with all commercially available rubber polymers and mould components from a few millimetres to 750mm in size (occasionally bigger). We manufacture predominantly in larger quantities, from 100s for capital goods, 1,000s for industrial goods, to millions for consumer and automotive goods, and we export to over 30 countries worldwide. We manufacture from hundreds for capital goods to millions for automotive, exporting to over 30 countries.

Within the group, we have a specialist rubber bonding facility and can bond rubber to metals, plastics, ceramics, and other rubber materials. In fact, we can bond to almost any material that can withstand the temperatures and pressure. Our innovative approach even allows us to overmould special elastomers with inserts that have low melt temperatures. We can offer an assembly service where appropriate. Harboro can mould multiple compounds/inserts with different properties, hardness, or colours, and overmould them onto other parts, such as wire assemblies.
We have a wide range of moulding equipment suited to different sizes and quantities. We have recently bought and installed two new Rep 250t injection moulding machines and two further 500t Tung Yu presses. In addition to our original DOSS vision inspection machine, we have commissioned a new Doss Lite D HD inspection camera to provide an advanced automated vision process. These new machines complement the existing range of equipment already on site.
