About Gebr. Horst Gummiwarenfabrik
Gebr. Horst Gummiwarenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG is a specialized rubber and plastics processor based in Gelnhausen. Founded in 1924, the fourth-generation family business manufactures elastomer components as molded parts, extrusion profiles and hose products, as well as die-cut parts and flat gaskets made of rubber. In the thermoplastics segment, injection-molded and turned parts are produced; the range also includes molded parts as well as extrusions and profiles made of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE/TPU). Services range from technical consulting and material selection to development and design of elastomer components, through in-house toolmaking and series production. With a high level of vertical integration, the company serves prototypes, small batches and high-volume series production, primarily for the automotive industry, and is certified according to IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and TISAX AL2.
