The Rahco Rubber Quality Approach

Shipping defect free parts begin with a company-wide culture of quality. Everyone at Rahco assumes responsibility for their part in the process. Standards are high, and compromises are unacceptable!

Our quality system is aggressively structured to ensure that all required materials, tools and processes are designed to support our goal of superior quality and manufacturing efficiency. Our ISO certification is 9001:2008 and our registrar is DNV.

Our continued efforts to quality control and passing stringent internal audits have allowed us to meet our goal of becoming a world-class supplier of custom molded precision products.

Rahco Rubber’s quality management system starts with initial customer discussions concerning component requirements and continues through the finalization of the component design, construction and capability analysis of the production tooled components.

Once production begins, every step of the manufacturing process is monitored and controlled – from the control of raw materials to control of the packing and shipping of the finished product.

Rahco manufactures and ships components to meet requirements, and we take pride in the number of customers who we “ship to stock.”

Quality Policy Statement

Every Team Member here at Rahco is continuously engaged and trained to fulfill their responsibility of delivering highest quality products.

Collectively, our goal is to be a world-class supplier of custom formulated and precision molded components.

Committed to the Environment

Rahco-Rubber is committed to the environment. When appropriate we design our tooling to conform to a low waste and flashless type of molding. This helps to minimize the amount of residual rubber waste that is transported to the landfill. We also participate in a recycling program where we reduce waste and the consumption of resources and ensure unavoidable waste is recycled, reused or recovered, where possible, or disposed of responsibly.

Our Quality Policy simply stated is this

The employees of Rahco Rubber are dedicated to providing superior products to our customers that meet or exceed expectations. Rahco Rubber, Inc. is striving for continual improvement in its processes, and in the value and effectiveness of its Quality Management System.
