Job Description

When Alfred Fain founded a small Rhode Island tire store in 1924, no one could have predicted how Teknor Apex would become an international custom compounder sought after by companies around the world. After a nearly hundred-year journey that includes acquisitions and expansion, we now have nine U.S. locations, as well as operations in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China.

Throughout this global expansion, Teknor has remained a privately held company. Today, Fain’s grandson leads the company, maintaining the family’s tradition of fostering deep employee and customer relationships. These relationships enable us to deliver customized compound solutions and help our customers create better products.
