Reed Rubber Products

Reed Rubber Products, headquartered in Saint Louis, Missouri, is a prominent wholesaler specializing in building supplies and rubber items. Originating in 1922 as a small retailer in downtown St. Louis, the company initially supplied construction crews along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers with essential rubber products like boots, hose, and slickers.

Over the ensuing decades, Reed expanded its offerings, venturing into the manufacturing of gaskets, window glazing, and accessory products. In 1985, the company transitioned to extruding thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) under the name Reed Rubber Products. As demand surged, additional product lines were introduced, prompting a relocation to the current facility in May 2008.

Reed Rubber Products specializes in profile extrusions, co-extrusions, and tri-extrusions. The company’s post-extrusion capabilities encompass a range of services, including punching bolt holes, adding mounting tape, printing, cutting to length, slipcoating, and splicing—either endless or mitered for frame assemblies. Additionally, Reed continues to manufacture glazing accessories such as setting blocks and glazing tape.
