Four Decades of Excellence
From a small workshop in Mumbai to a global rubber solutions provider — our story is one of craftsmanship, innovation, and an uncompromising dedication to quality that has endured for over 40 years.
Our Mission
Built on Precision, Driven by Purpose
In 1982, Harkesh Rubber Products opened its doors in Mumbai with a simple but powerful conviction: that precision-made rubber components could be manufactured in India to the same exacting standards demanded by the world's most critical industries.
That conviction has guided every decision we have made over the past four decades — from our investments in ISO-certified quality systems and advanced R&D to the expansion of our manufacturing footprint across Mumbai and Gujarat.
Today, Harkesh Rubber Products serves customers in 40+ countries, supplying O-rings, seals, gaskets, diaphragms, and precision molded rubber parts to the automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, medical, and industrial sectors. Our mission remains unchanged: deliver quality that our customers can trust, every product, every time.
