Description

When Alfred Fain founded a small Rhode Island tire store in 1924, at the time no one could have predicted how Teknor Apex would become an international custom compounder sought out by companies around the world.

Throughout this global expansion Teknor has remained a privately held company, and today Fains grandson sits at the helm, maintaining the family's tradition of fostering deep employee and customer relationships.

These relationships are what allow us - together - to deliver customized compound solutions and help our customers create better products.
