Over a century of precision-engineered fiber innovation — transforming ordinary rubber and polymers into high-performance compounds for specialized applications worldwide.
Our journey to the position of global authority on fibers and their implementation in polymers began in 1921. The Ekus family saw an opportunity to create a use for the large volumes of textile materials being used by the growing tire industry in Akron, Ohio.
Their creative thinking and hard work developed ways to precision cut fibers and textile fabrics for use in a wide variety of engineered products. Tire cord received RFL treatment in the late 1940’s — enhancing available properties and growing rapidly in popularity across automotive, agriculture, and heavy equipment industries.
The company incorporated as Victor Gelb in the early 1980’s, joined the DOWCO, LLC. family in 2006, and was rebranded as Finite Fiber in 2008. Today, we are dedicated professionals utilizing a growing list of engineered fiber products and sophisticated chemistry to transform ordinary rubber into unique compounds. Fiber makes rubber and plastics better.
