Al Mazur established Gordon Rubber in Shelton, Connecticut in 1949. Al, a seasoned veteran of the consumer rubber products market, saw a chance to expand his client base by moving into more industrial applications.

Al's original vision was straightforward: to establish an industrial rubber products business that specialised in custom orders in smaller batch sizes while emphasising timely and personal service.

Gordon Rubber grew quickly during its first ten years, building a solid client base that necessitated two major expansions: first, a move from Shelton to our much larger, current location in 1960; and second, an expansion into our second building in 1970.
