Why Teknor Apex
We began in 1924 when Alfred Fain opened a small tire store in Rhode Island. Nearly a century later, we’re a privately held global custom compounder with nine U.S. locations and facilities in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China—still guided by Fain’s grandson and a relationship‑driven culture.
