Boxer GmbH Visits LT-RUBBER for a Factory Tour
On October 27, 2026, LT-RUBBER welcomed representatives from Boxer GmbH, Germany, for a factory visit. The visit included an introduction to our factory, a tour of key departments, and face-to-face discussions with our team.
The visitors toured our raw material storage area, warehouse, quality department, rubber mixing workshop, rubber and silicone molding workshops, and finishing area. Along the way, our team introduced the equipment and activities in each department and answered questions about the manufacturing process.
The visit provided an opportunity to see our operations in person and discuss new products within the context of our manufacturing capabilities. It also allowed both teams to continue their communication through direct conversations on site.
A Factory Introduction and Sample Viewing
The visit began in the meeting room, where our team presented an overview of LT-RUBBER using a factory introduction presentation. This opening session introduced the company and its operations before the visitors entered the production areas.
A company presentation provides a useful starting point for a factory visit. It gives visitors an overview of the business and helps establish the context for the departments they will see during the tour. For this visit, the introduction was followed by a closer look at our facilities.
The visitors also viewed the samples in our display cabinet. This was a separate opportunity to see physical examples of rubber and silicone components manufactured by LT-RUBBER. Viewing the samples offered a closer look at component shapes and finished appearances before the factory tour began.
Visiting the Raw Material Storage Area and Warehouse
Following the initial meeting, the visitors toured our raw material storage area and warehouse. These areas were included at the beginning of the route, before the visits to the quality department and production workshops.
For rubber and silicone manufacturing, the work carried out before molding is an important part of the overall operation. Raw materials must be available for production, while warehouse activities support the handling and movement of materials and goods.
Including these areas in the visit gave the customer a broader view of the factory beyond the molding machines. It introduced the supporting operations that sit alongside production and helped place the later workshop visits in context.
The tour then continued to the quality department, where the focus moved from material storage to inspection equipment and its role in manufacturing.
Introducing Equipment in the Quality Department
In the quality department, our team introduced the available inspection equipment and explained its uses. The visitors had an opportunity to see the equipment directly and learn more about how it supports our quality work.
For custom rubber and silicone components, inspection requirements depend on the part drawing, material specification, and agreed acceptance criteria. Equipment selection and inspection methods therefore need to be considered in relation to the characteristics being checked.
The introduction focused on the equipment present in the department and its practical applications. Seeing the equipment on site added context to the factory presentation and provided another point of reference for understanding our operations.
This part of the tour also highlighted the connection between manufacturing and inspection. A finished component must be considered against its specified requirements, making quality activities an essential part of the wider production process.
Touring the Mixing and Molding Workshops
The production tour began in the rubber mixing workshop, before continuing to the rubber and silicone molding workshops. This sequence introduced material preparation before the visitors moved on to component forming.
Mixing is an important stage in rubber manufacturing because the prepared compound forms the basis for subsequent processing. Visiting the mixing workshop allowed the customer to see this part of the factory before viewing the molding areas.
The visitors then toured the rubber molding workshop, followed by the silicone molding workshop. Our team accompanied them through these areas and introduced the production operations and equipment.
Rubber and silicone components can differ in material behavior, geometry, and processing requirements. Seeing both workshops helped illustrate the range of manufacturing activities within LT-RUBBER, while keeping the discussion connected to the facilities themselves.
Together with the earlier sample viewing, the workshop tour provided two perspectives on our work: examples of finished components and the production environment in which components are manufactured. This made the visit more informative than a presentation alone.
Manual Trimming, Deflashing, and Post-Curing
The tour also included the department referred to internally as our packaging department. During this visit, the main focus in this area was manual trimming and flash removal.
Flash is excess material that can remain around a molded component, commonly along the mold parting line. Removing it is a finishing operation, and the appropriate method depends on the component and its requirements.
The visitors saw the manual trimming activities and were also introduced to the deflashing equipment. Including both in the tour helped show that the manufacturing process continues after a component leaves the mold.
Our post-curing equipment was another point of discussion. The customer asked when this equipment is used in the production sequence. Our team explained that, for parts requiring post-curing, this operation is carried out after flash removal in the process being discussed.
Post-curing requirements depend on the material and the applicable product specification. This exchange gave the customer a specific explanation of the equipment’s place in the relevant workflow, alongside the finishing operations introduced during the tour.
Further Discussions and a Group Photograph
After the factory tour, both teams returned to the meeting room to continue their discussions. Having visited the storage areas, quality department, and workshops, the customer had a direct view of the facilities behind the earlier company introduction.
New products were among the subjects discussed during the visit. The opportunity to meet in person allowed both teams to communicate directly while becoming more familiar with the factory and its operations.
At the close of the visit, representatives from Boxer GmbH and the LT-RUBBER team gathered for a group photograph. We also appreciated the thoughtful gift brought by our visitors.
LT-RUBBER thanks the Boxer GmbH team for taking the time to visit our factory. We value the opportunity to welcome customers on site, answer questions about our operations, and maintain clear communication through personal contact.
