March 4-6, 2024 | Chicago, IL | 8am-5pm CST

The ARPM Training Academy was established to fill the rubber industry’s need for in-depth training on product and process technologies. It offers participants access to exclusive information presented by senior leaders from the rubber industry who prepare and share their decades of product knowledge coupled with ARPM’s unique, industry-shaping technical guidance and product best practice documents. These industry leaders focus on the necessary factors needed to improve your competitiveness through the elimination of variation in rubber product manufacturing.        

Advanced Rubber Product Manufacturing Technologies focuses on the elimination of variation associated with the initial design of the rubber article and rubber compound, through the control of the compound’s consistency and manufacturing process. The course will be a mix of lectures and demonstrations purposefully designed to provide the attendee exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies that extend from chemical weigh-up through compound production and follow into automated article manufacturing and inspection.
