Join us August 26 – 28, 2025, in Barberton, Ohio, for “Manufacturing with Silicone Rubber,” a comprehensive workshop hosted by RDAbbott from a fabricator’s point-of-view. There’s also an optional training opportunity on August 29 for one-on-one discussions with instructors and deeper dives into process development.

Join us at LSR 2025 in Irvine, California, from June 16 – 19 and learn about the latest innovations in liquid silicone rubber (LSR). RDAbbott is a co-organizer for this global event, where we will co-exhibit and co-sponsor with Dow and NovationSi.

We invite you to join us at the Rubber Roller Group Annual Meeting May 4 – 6, 2025, at the B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach in Florida. RDAbbott will have a table-top exhibit set up during their expo on Monday, May 5. We plan to feature our product lines from Parker Lord, TSE, Dow, Hallstar, and NovationSi and more.

Over the past year, RDAbbott employees across North America partnered with more than 55 organizations, including food banks, shelters, senior centers, and schools. From Garden Grove, California, to Barberton, Ohio, and home offices across the continent, employees found meaningful ways to support their communities—whether by volunteering, donating essentials, mentoring students, or honoring first responders and veterans.

NovationSi, RDAbbott’s manufacturing subsidiary, is set to showcase its expertise in custom silicone color dispersions at MD&M West 2025. Partnering with industry leaders ARBURG and ACH Solution, NovationSi will supply a custom NovaSperse® colorant for ARBURG’s injection mold cell. Visit Booth 4229 to experience cutting-edge molding technology, witness the production of high-quality silicone parts, and learn how NovationSi and RDAbbott provide unmatched technical support to the silicone market.

As we reflect on 2024, we’re filled with pride and gratitude for the kindness that defined this year. In celebration of RDAbbott’s 75th anniversary, our companies completed over 90 acts of kindness across North America, impacting 55 organizations. Watch our video to see the impact we made together.

Join us August 27 – 30 in Barberton, Ohio, for “Manufacturing with Silicone Rubber,” a comprehensive workshop hosted by RDAbbott from a fabricator’s point-of-view. Attendees of this four-day workshop will learn practical techniques, testing methods, and insights, plus equipment troubleshooting tips for processing silicone rubber from industry professionals through a combination of classroom instruction and interactive workshops.

RDAbbott demonstrated its material characterization and data mapping expertise at NPE 2024 and is offering these same capabilities to customers. RDAbbott’s research team characterized liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and provided multi-point data to Moldex3D, which then used its computer-aided engineering software to produce flow predictions and cavity fill simulations. Virtual molding simulations can save companies considerable time and money but require robust and reliable data sets, which can be challenging with LSRs.

Starting May 29, RDAbbott will launch its 2024 webinar series that will feature technical insights, material updates, and processing recommendations from our supplier partners throughout the year.

Students from various Summit County high schools in Ohio recently visited RDAbbott and NovationSi for a facilities tour and overview of careers in the rubber industry. On March 21st, RDAbbott’s Service Center in Barberton, Ohio, hosted 21 students from the Industrial Maintenance and Production for Employment program at Stow-Munroe Falls High School. David Helmick, IMPE technology instructor and transitional work experience coordinator, also participated in the field trip.
