About Rubbernek Fittings Ltd
The name Rubbernek originated from North America when a company called Chicago Fittings opened up a division in the UK to service Ford Tractors. Rubbernek was a product line of re-usable couplings for high vibration applications. Upon a management buy-out in 1986 the name Rubbernek was adopted as the new company name and has remained synonymous in the supply of quality fluid power fittings ever since.
Rubbernek Fittings Ltd is a private company that was acquired from the former management in 1994. It forms part of The R F Holdings Group of Companies which is a combination of complimentary specialist engineering businesses located in the West Midlands area of the UK.
Continuous investment in staff training and IT systems gives Rubbernek the competitive edge in the marketplace.
