Segments
The company operates through two strategic operating segments: AES and EMS. The company's remaining operations, which represent its non-core businesses, are reported in its Other operating segment.
Advanced Electronics Solutions
AES operating segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells circuit materials, ceramic substrate materials, busbars and cooling solutions for applications in EV/HEV, automotive (e.g, ADAS), aerospace and defense (e.g., antenna systems, communication systems and phased array radar systems), renewable energy (e.g., wind and solar), wireless infrastructure (e.g., power amplifiers, antennas and small cells), mass transit, industrial (e.g., variable frequency drives), connected devices (e.g., mobile internet devices and thermal solutions) and wired infrastructure (e.g., computing and internet protocol infrastructure) markets. The company believes these materials have characteristics that offer performance and other functional advantages in many market applications, which serve to differentiate its products from other commonly available materials. AES products are sold globally to converters, fabricators, distributors and OEMs.
Trade names for the company’s AES products include: curamik, ROLINX, RO4000 Series, RO3000 Series, RT/duroid, CLTE Series, TMM, AD Series, DiClad Series, CuClad Series, Kappa, COOLSPAN, TC Series, IsoClad Series, MAGTREX, IM Series, 2929 Bondply, SpeedWave Prepreg, RO4400/RO4400T Series and Radix. As of December 31, 2024, the company’s AES operating segment had manufacturing and administrative facilities in Chandler, Arizona; Rogers, Connecticut; Bear, Delaware; Eschenbach, Germany; Suzhou, China; Budapest, Hungary; Evergem, Belgium; and Apodoca, Mexico.
Elastomeric Material Solutions
EMS operating segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells engineered material solutions for a wide variety of applications and markets. These include polyurethane and silicone materials used in cushioning, gasketing and sealing, and vibration management applications for EV/HEV, general industrial, portable electronics, automotive, mass transit, aerospace and defense, footwear and impact mitigation markets; customized silicones used in flex heater and semiconductor thermal applications for EV/HEV, general industrial, portable electronics, automotive, mass transit, aerospace and defense and medical markets; polytetrafluoroethylene and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene materials used in wire and cable protection, electrical insulation, conduction and shielding, hose and belt protection, vibration management, cushioning, gasketing and sealing, and venting applications for EV/HEV, general industrial, automotive and aerospace and defense markets. The company believes these materials have characteristics that offer functional advantages in many market applications, which serve to differentiate its products from other commonly available materials. EMS products are sold globally to converters, fabricators, distributors and OEMs.
Trade names for the company’s EMS products include: PORON, BISCO, DeWAL, ARLON, eSorba, XRD, Silicone Engineering and R/bak. As of December 31, 2024, the company’s EMS operating segment had manufacturing and administrative facilities in Rogers, Connecticut; Woodstock, Connecticut; Bear, Delaware; Carol Stream, Illinois; Narragansett, Rhode Island; Suzhou, China; Blackburn, England; Evergem, Belgium; Siheung, South Korea; and Ansan, South Korea.
Other
Other operating segment consists of elastomer components for applications in the general industrial market, as well as elastomer floats for level sensing in fuel tanks, motors, and storage tanks applications in the general industrial and automotive markets. The company sells its elastomer components under its ENDUR trade name and its floats under its NITROPHYL trade name.
Sales
The company sells its materials and components primarily through direct sales channels positioned near major concentrations of the company’s customers in North America, Europe and Asia. The company sold to approximately 2,900 customers worldwide in 2024, consisting primarily of OEMs and component suppliers. No individual customer represented more than 10% of the company’s total net sales for 2024.
The company employs a technical sales and marketing approach pursuant to which it works collaboratively to provide design engineering, testing, product development and other technical support services to OEMs that incorporate the company’s engineered materials and components in their products. Component suppliers convert, modify or otherwise incorporate the company’s engineered materials and components into their components for these OEMs in accordance with their specifications. Accordingly, the company provides similar technical support services to component suppliers.
