Apple Rubber Products Inc., provided us with O-rings, seals and gaskets. They have high quality rubber products: standard AS568 and ISO 3601 O-Rings, online standardized products, but are able to make customized parts to meet specific requirements. They have an extensive variety of materials: Viton, Nitrile, Ethylene-Propylene, Flurosilicone, Silicone, Neoprene, etc... Their staff of engineers are versed in all their materials and can suggest alternatives as required. As in our case to meet certain chemical requirements that could not be meet by standard materials. Customer service has been helpful in answering questions and placing orders online; they go the extra distance to make sure the customer is taken-care of, team player...
Strengths: wide selection of products, great website, design assistance, great delivery, competitive pricing, molding capabilities, custom products, customer service
Needs to improve: in the past their response times are a bit slow.
This is a supplier of ours who custom mfg our medical grade elastomer seals for our release system for micro coils. The box usually is in a hospital lap environment and the seal of our box should be reliable. The custom seal component is sent to us for kit set up to mfg the boxes.
Strengths: Extensive selection of o-rings and elastomer seals
High quality products
Needs to improve: We had experienced a few CF's with this company which slowed up our mfg. We have multiple suppliers so we were covered

Wow these guys are truly the rubber experts. We did not know there were many different tiers of rubber quality and the staff at Apple Rubber was very helpful in helping us identify the right specification for our needs. We ended going with the standard neoprene and silicon materials as they are the most cost effective and offer most value. Very happy with our purchase as the price is competitive given the level of service and high quality of products.
Strengths: wide selection of rubber products, gaskets, and seals.
Needs to improve: None.

We procure customized seal solutions from Apple Rubber and have consistently been impressed by their professionalism and level of service. We're a small assembly but routinely need custom solutions and Apple is always up to the task. Customer service is great and always accommodating. They know the industry well and do their best to provide us solution alternatives. Accurate quotes, realistic lead times and product reliability keep us as loyal clients.

I would recommend them because of the price and helpfulness of the company.
Strengths: Apple Rubber has all sorts of o-rings of different sizes and materials. Their customer service is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Needs to improve: Their product consistency needs some work. Over the years, some of the o-ring seem to have slightly changed in dimension/fit in our products. But the company was responsive is fixing any changes for us.
Apple Rubber can be very helpful to partner with as you design a critical joint/seal. They ask the right questions to understand your design intent, and they provide you with various options that may work for your application. Overall a very good vendor to work with.

Their customer service seems to be very quick to respond to questions by email.
Strengths: Their name is really easy to remember when you need o-rings of all kinds.
Needs to improve: I think their products cost way more than their competitors. I don't have demanding enough applications to know if their o-rings are noticeably better quality to justify the price.
Dependable supplier of miniature seals for some of our medical devices we manufacture that must not get any moisture or dust inside of the unit. These seals assure that for us, We use this vendor often and they are reliable and consistent with deliveries.
Strengths: Good quality custom seals, micro size
Needs to improve: None I can recall
Quality products.
Strengths: We have used Apple Rubber products in quite a few of our assemblies. I find it easy to communicate our need to them, and they have been helpful in the design process.
