Data tracking and automation features contribute to process traceability, which is a key priority for us.

 Focus on your production 

REP: Have you ever encountered the machine's capacity limitations?

Wayne Rubber: Not at all. We have processed a wide variety of materials, including EPDM, NBR, SBR and special elastomers, with excellent results.
REP machines maintain stable temperatures and injection pressures, enabling clean and uniform parts.

REP:  What is the advantage in terms of productivity?

Wayne Rubber: The REP machines have been a game changer in productivity! Their fast cycles and controlled energy consumption, have enabled us to maintain high efficiency without sacrificing quality. Repeatability between cycles minimizes scrap and rework, allowing us to focus on throughput and reliability.

Operator feedback has been extremely positive : setup and operation are intuitive, which helps us maintain our productivity even when we are training new staff!

 Focus on your finished product 

REP: In your opinion, what defines a high-quality piece?

Wayne Rubber: For us, a high-quality part is one that retains its dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and performance consistency across large production runs.
We define quality not only by meeting specifications, but by producing parts that perform reliably in the field over time.

REP: How do your part and services stand out from the competition?

Wayne Rubber: We differentiate ourselves through a combination of :

We don’t just mold parts - We work closely with our customers to optimize materials, design, and processing, ensuring that the final product delivers optimal performance for its intended use.

REP: Is the optimization of the waste rate and material scrap a concern for you? How does your product answer these issues?

Wayne Rubber: Yes, waste reduction is a major focus. The consistency and repeatability of REP presses have allowed us to reduce start-up scrap and optimize material usage.
This aligns with both our environmental goals and our customers’ cost expectations.

 REP & you 

REP: What made you come to REP more than to any other company?

Wayne Rubber: it's REP's reputation for technical excellence, reliability, and customer service. We evaluated several other press manufacturers, but the technical capabilities, robust press design, and proven experience record of the company in the field made REP the obvious choice!

REP: What were your main constraints, and are you satisfied with the results?

Wayne Rubber: Our main constraints were footprint and flexibility. We needed machines that were compatible with a wide range of mold sizes and capable of processing all kinds of materials within a compact layout.

REP presses have exceeded our expectations in both respects. We're extremely satisfied with their performance and the support we've received.

Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive! The machines have delivered on all their promises, and our partnership with the REP team has proven to be very collaborative and supportive. It's a relationship based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to excellence.

 Your future projects 

REP: What are your future goals and challenges to complete?

Wayne Rubber: The next step for Wayne Rubber is to develop our in-house molding capabilities and continuing to grow our customer base in high-specification markets such as automotive and industrial OEMs.

We are also investing in testing and R&D capabilities to better meet our customers' needs. As we grow, REP equipment will continue to play a central role in our production strategy.
