Reed Rubber Company opened its doors in 1922 in downtown St. Louis as a small retailer, supplying construction crews along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers with rubber boots, hose, and slickers.
In the following decades, Reed began making its own gaskets. It expanded into producing window glazing and accessory products. By 1985, Reed was extruding thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) under the name of Reed Rubber Products. As demand grew, new lines were added and the company relocated to its current location in May 2008
Reed Rubber Products primarily offers profile extrusions, co-extrusions, and tri-extrusions. Post-extrusion capabilities include punching bolt holes, adding mounting tape, printing, cutting to length, slipcoating, and splicing, either endless or mitered for frame assemblies. We also continue to make glazing accessories, such as setting blocks and glazing tape.
After almost 100 years serving the industry, Reed is still owned and operated by the Reed family.
Do not hesitate to give us a call. We'd love to help you!
