With immense excitement and a sense of pride, we are absolutely thrilled to share the announcement of our brand-new Hedstrom Rubber division. This innovative and forward-thinking division will focus specifically on the production of large commercial mud flaps, which are essential for many vehicles, as well as various types of pressed rubber matting that can be used in numerous applications. This new venture will be a fantastic addition to our existing injection and roto molding capabilities, allowing us to expand our product offerings significantly.

We will be manufacturing these high-quality products in one of our state-of-the-art buildings located in Ashland, Ohio. The operation will feature a total of 10 advanced machines, which will enable us to efficiently produce these items while maintaining our commitment to quality. Additionally, this expansion will create exciting opportunities for 6 to 8 new team members to join our growing family, contributing to our mission and vision.

This remarkable achievement is a direct result of the dedication, teamwork, and hard work of the entire Hedstrom team involved in this project. I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOUt o the team! Your efforts have made this possible. Stay tuned for much more excited news to come as we continue to grow and innovate!
