Custom Molded Rubber Financing

Custom molded rubber manufacturers buy raw rubber and chemicals, run compression and injection presses, and ship to OEM and aftermarket customers on extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep the presses running through payment gaps.

You're molding custom rubber parts — bushings, mounts, diaphragms, and specialties — for OEM and aftermarket customers. Raw rubber, carbon black, and curing agents are bought in volume, and the customer pays 45–90 days after shipment.

Presses don't cheaply idle, and one automotive or industrial OEM can dominate your book for a quarter at a time.

We match custom molded rubber manufacturers to factoring against OEM receivables, PO financing on raw material buys, and equipment loans for the next press or mixer.

What underwriters will actually ask for

Custom Molded Rubber files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • Active business and any required certifications

    ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 where applicable. Certification status alone doesn't disqualify.

  • Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list

    OEM concentration above ~40% may shape the reserve, not disqualify.

  • Trailing 12 months of financials

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of automotive, industrial, and specialty molded revenue.

  • Raw rubber and chemical supplier list (for PO financing)

    PO financing pays your rubber, carbon black, and chemical suppliers directly against confirmed orders.

  • Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)

    Compression and injection presses, mixers, and vulcanizers finance cleanly — new and used.
