Build materials that power everyday products

From a single Rhode Island tire shop in 1924 to a global custom compounder with nine U.S. sites and operations in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China, Teknor Apex has thrived as a privately held, family-led company. Today, Alfred Fain’s grandson continues the tradition of close-knit employee and customer partnerships that fuel innovation.
