**Description**
When Alfred Fain founded a small Rhode Island tire store in 1924, at the time no one could have predicted how Teknor Apex would become an international custom compounder sought out by companies around the world.

These relationships are what allow ustogetherto deliver customized compound solutions and help our customers create better products.
Manufacturing is a team sport and we work together to achieve our goals. ~Jon Fain, CEO
