About ARLANXEO 

We are one of the world's largest producers of synthetic rubber. We develop, produce and market high-performance rubbers that are used for a wide range of applications.

Probably you use synthetic rubbers in your daily live without even noticing it. To drive to work and home you need rubber in the tires of your car or bicycle. When taking a shower there’s a rubber seal in your tap. When opening the fridge, the rubber seals make sure the door closes properly and keeps the cold in. Besides these more ‘traditional’ applications our synthetic rubber is also used in batteries for electrical cars, in windmills and solar panels.

As one of the major players in the rubber industry, ARLANXEO recognizes that we must examine every stage in the life of our rubber products to reduce their environmental footprint. Find out how you can make a difference at ARLANXEO.
