The Rubber Division announces new webinar on tire manufacturing

Akron, OH – Join the Rubber Division for their new webinar series MANUFACTURING MONDAYS – TIRES on Mondays June 3 through July 22, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET.

This webinar series is intended for those engaged in the tire and rubber industry and in academia. The focus will be on tire manufacturing beginning with raw materials receiving through production, final finishing and product shipment. Many of the fundamental manufacturing principles apply equally to other rubber product production such as conveyor belts, so the webinars will have very broad applications.
