Rubber & Plastics News, a Crain Communication publication, has launched a redesigned website (rubbernews.com).

With links to their newsletters, headlines on many facets of the industry, and information on upcoming conferences (including the 2013 Hose Manufacturer's Conference hosted jointly with Goodyear/Veyance), Rubber & Plastics News is a primary source for breaking rubber industry news and information.

You can purchase information and special reports from their research, including statistics, rankings, and directories. You can also access video coverage of rubber industry news live from their conferences and trade shows.

A visit to the site provides a wealth of articles, such as how the Association for Rubber Products Manufacturers represented U.S. hose interests at a recent international ISO meeting or how Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is expanding and merging its Hudson, Mass operations into its Northborough facilities.

Quite a bit of information is available to all visitors, but digital subscribers get full online access and unlimited archive access for just $35/year. You can also follow Rubber News on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
