Scott Kennedy is a manufacturer and importer of custom rubber products for industrial applications. In the video above, he describes his experience sourcing bespoke rubber components from Saga Elastomer, a custom rubber products manufacturer based in Pune, India. The account covers product quality, communication, and the process of working with an Indian manufacturer on custom specifications.
What Scott Sources from Saga Elastomer
Scott’s business requires custom rubber profiles and components built to specific drawings and tolerances — not off-the-shelf products. This is Saga Elastomer’s primary capability: taking a client’s cross-section drawing or application requirement and producing the correct compound, hardness, and profile geometry to match it.
Saga Elastomer manufactures bespoke rubber products across EPDM, silicone, neoprene, nitrile, natural rubber, and TPE/TPV compounds. Custom orders are produced from approved drawings with material test certificates available on request. Minimum order quantities and lead times are confirmed at enquiry stage.
Custom Rubber Products Manufacturer India: What the Process Looks Like
For international buyers sourcing custom rubber from India for the first time, the process at Saga Elastomer runs as follows:
1. Client submits drawing or sample, with application context and compound preference.
2. Saga confirms compound suitability, hardness range, and extrusion or moulding method.
3. First article samples are produced and dispatched for client approval.
4. On approval, production batch is scheduled. Material test certificates issued to ASTM or ISO standard as required.
5. Export packaging is selected based on destination and product type. See rubber export packaging options for details.
Scott’s testimonial reflects the outcome of this process for an industrial application requiring consistent quality across repeated orders.
Why Buyers Source Custom Rubber from India
India’s rubber manufacturing sector operates with lower tooling and production costs than equivalent facilities in Europe or North America, without compromising material standards. Saga Elastomer holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and produces to ASTM compound and dimensional standards on request. For buyers managing landed cost on industrial rubber components, sourcing from a custom rubber products manufacturer in India reduces per-unit cost while maintaining traceable quality documentation.
Saga Elastomer currently exports to buyers in the USA, UK, Gulf region, Singapore, and Australia, in addition to its domestic Indian customer base.
