Today...

Our Engineered Products Division, known today as AirBoss Engineered Products Inc. (AEP), started in 1981 as a black compound mixer for our footwear division and a supplier of tread and cushion for the tire retreading industry. Through the years AEP gradually developed good business relationship with recognized companies.

During the same period, AEP developed a new range of products to fill its existing production capacity. This division is now devoted to conception and manufacturing of rubber material whose high quality standards have brought to us world class companies and enabled us to enter the market of custom mixing, custom extrusion and moulded products.

In 1999, AirBoss of America Corp. acquired the company founded by Alfred Lambert, which, under his leadership and technology became AirBoss Engineered Products Inc. (AEP). The company was first known as "Acton Rubber Limited" and then "Acton International Inc.". Later AirBoss Engineered Products Inc. became the Quebec affiliation of AirBoss of America Corp. having another plant in Kitchener, Ontario - operating under the name of AirBoss Rubber Compounding. Today a 3rd facility is in operation in Scotland Neck, North Carolina.
