The Hudson Advantage

For over thirty years, RL Hudson has been an engineering-driven supplier of molded rubber and plastic components, extruded and formed hoses, and sealing devices such as shaft seals, O-rings, and hydraulic seals. Some of the most sophisticated manufacturing firms in the world choose us as their primary supplier of engineered rubber and plastic components. Why? Because we understand their needs.

We understand that our customers may need more than simple, off-the-shelf products; they often face complex technical challenges that can only be solved with highly engineered products. Our engineering team utilizes Pro/E® parametric solid modeling design software in conjunction with sophisticated analytical engineering tools. We collaborate with our customers to develop cost-effective solutions to their problems.

We understand that customers expect our products to perform as required each and every time. That’s why we pay close attention to their application requirements, helping them choose the right rubber and plastic materials.  We not only develop and test compounds, we verify the quality and consistency of the materials used in our products.

We understand that our customers have schedules to meet, production lines to keep running and costs to control. Our customers are original equipment manufacturers with exacting requirements for quality, cost and delivery. We’ve found and developed the best factories around the world, allowing us to provide high-quality products at competitive costs.  We ensure that those products are delivered on time — every time.

We understand that our customers depend on us to consistently provide high-quality products. That’s why our quality management system includes ISO 9001 certification, an Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process, and a well-trained, professional staff to monitor and verify product quality.
