THE HUDSON ADVANTAGE
What is it exactly that makes RL Hudson unique?
RL Hudson designs and supplies molded rubber and plastic components to many of the most sophisticated manufacturing firms in the world. Why? Because we understand and meet their complex needs.

Design Engineering 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.
Material Development We understand that our products must perform as required each and every time. That’s why we pay close attention to application requirements, helping customers choose the correct rubber and plastic materials. We not only develop and test compounds, we verify the quality and consistency of the materials used in our products.
Supply Chain Management 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 prices. And we ensure that those products are delivered on time — every time.
Quality Management 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.
Wide Product Range We understand that our customers want to consolidate their supply base to reduce costs. We offer a wide range of products, including custom molded rubber and plastic components, hoses, sealing devices and assemblies. We have excellent technical expertise in each of our product lines, so we can solve any problems our customers may encounter.
