Step into the night shift at Teknor Apex and help build the custom compounds that power products around the world.
You arrive at 6:45pm, gear up, and walk your line. You verify item and lot numbers against orders, stage materials for blending, and set up the extruder. Throughout the shift, you monitor outputs, make mechanical adjustments, and document everything legibly. Between runs, you tidy the area, coordinate with teammates for smooth changeovers, and keep a sharp eye on personal and team safety. When needed, you safely operate a fork truck to move materials and finished goods. At 7:00am, the day team is ready to pick up where you left off—clean area, clear notes, and accurate production paperwork.
Our story began in 1924 when Alfred Fain opened a small tire store in Rhode Island. Nearly a century later, Teknor Apex has grown into an international custom compounder with nine U.S. sites and operations in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China. We remain privately held, and today Fain’s grandson leads the company, preserving a family tradition of strong relationships with employees and customers—relationships that fuel better, tailored compound solutions.
“Manufacturing is a team sport and we work together to achieve our goals.” ~Jon Fain
