We are very pleased to announce our new Global Recruitment Service for the rubber industry in partnership with PREA Ltd that offers a fully tailored, confidential service for both candidates and employers to help them reach their career and business goals. If you are a company looking to recruit or a rubber industry professional exploring new job opportunities please contact jobs@therubberheart.com to find out how we can help.

The announcement that travel to the USA will be possible for UK citizens from November was very welcome but too late for Rubber Heart and many other European international participants to be at Rubber Division, ACS International Elastomer Conference (IEC) 2021 in Pittsburgh. The countdown to the IEC 2022 in Knoxville begins already and you can reserve your space at the expo here. Do also check out the Division’s educational and training opportunities for the rest of this year and beyond.

Even though we were not able to be in Pittsburgh several of our clients participated including Endurica whose fatigue analysis simulation and testing workflows are now used by 6 out of the top 9 global rubber product manufacturers for their product development programmes. Endurica announced the launch of an exciting new tool for materials developers at the IEC: its new, standalone app for phone or laptop – Companion™ – that makes it easy to select the material with the right properties that will meet the durability requirements of your application.

ACE also featured Wallace Instruments – its rubber testing equipment partner – on its IEC expo booth, showcasing Wallace’s next generation Compression Stress Relaxometer that provides affordable, reliable and accurate CSR testing for predicting rubber seal performance and longevity.
