Custom Manufacturing

By classification, we are a gasket manufacturer plus much more.  (In truth, most of our products aren't "gaskets" to our customers.)  Our wide array of manufacturing equipment and capabilities are geared to meet the high standards of Aerospace and Medical Equipment manufacturers, as mandated by the FAA, FDA, and other agencies...as well as more ordinary applications.  

Zero to very low initial tooling and minimal purchase requirements on most products.  Samples, Prototypes, Free Technical Assistance and Quotes available.

Prompt Personal Service by a real person...Guaranteed!

Established in 1967, Metro Industries, Inc., (MI Rubber and Gasket) is a world-class manufacturer and distributor of commercial rubber products and a wide variety of custom fabricated, mostly non-metallic components.

As a leading supplier of standard rubber gaskets and seals like O-Rings, Rubber Washers, Flange Gaskets, Rubber Grommets, and Sponge Stripping (weather stripping),  MI boldly publishes price and discount schedules wherever possible (an ongoing project).   As a key custom component supplier for dozens of classes of equipment manufacturers, many requiring substantial qualifications, we are quite adept at serving the often complex concerns of corporate purchasing agents and component design engineers. 

Whether the requirement is small or large, ordinary or unusual, or from an established customer or not...we guarantee that a trained sales technician or engineer will review your requirement and personally respond to your inquiry within one business day, though we usually acknowledge inquiries within an hour or two during normal business hours.   More time may be required to completely answer some inquiries, but we'll keep you informed of the status according to this policy.  

Is NOW too late?

Die Cutting Punch Presses, Clicker Presses, other manufacturing equipmentAlthough we run a tight schedule in order to maintain our consistent 99%+ on-time rate, we will and often do perform virtual miracles on rush requirements.  We guarantee that a real person will personally do everything possible to meet your need, no matter how impossible it may seem.   


How can we help?

Whether you're looking for prototypes, samples or technical assistance, standard rubber gaskets, o-rings, seals or other products, or a top notch fabricator for your custom die cut, extruded, molded or waterjet cut components, we want your business.  Given a chance, we'll earn it, too.  All we need is an opportunity to prove ourselves worthy, and that can be as simple as faxing or emailing us a request for quote.

Specializing in Special

Our staff's decades of combined experience developing gaskets, seals, and other parts for nearly every industry under the sun is a resource we offer free for the asking.   Of course, there are limits, but we're always willing to field technical questions about material properties and specifications, sealing issues, and other component part design concerns.  When possible, we'll provide samples or prototypes at little or no cost and consult with engineers through the completion of a project. 

We are proud of many of innovations we have introduced as problem-solving solutions to difficult sealing or component design problems, many of which have spawned improvements and enhancements to our own manufacturing processes.  This is how we've developed processes like Adhesives Laminating, Sewing, Screen Printing, Snap & Rivet Insertion, and various other Machining, Assembly, and other processes that complement our primary capacities like die cutting, slitting, shearing, molding, extruding, and waterjet cutting.
