Akron Rubber Development Laboratory, Inc.

Did You Know? Memorial Day was originally known as “Decoration Day,” a tradition that began after the Civil War to honor fallen soldiers by decorating their graves with flowers and flags.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Whether you’re traveling, grilling, or spending time with loved ones, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend.

Please note: ARDL’s offices and laboratories will be closed Monday, May 26 in observance of the holiday.

At ARDL, we’re committed to supporting K–12 education, sparking interest in polymers, and helping inspire the next generation of scientists through hands-on STEM learning. We’re also proud to support the local communities surrounding ARDL and the Polymer Capital of the World — Akron.

Today, our team visited Manchester Middle School for two interactive STEM classes on rubber and polymer science led by Paul M***a.

🧪 Hands-on demos
🔬 Real-world polymer science
🧠 Curious minds in action

We love helping mold young minds into future polymer scientists.

Not all lab jobs are the same.

At ARDL, you’re not just running tests — you’re helping customers understand, improve, and innovate with their materials.

We’re hiring:

🧪 Lab Tech – Pharmaceutical & Chemical Services (Akron)
🏭 Lab Tech – Mixing & Molding (Barberton)

If you’re detail-driven, hands-on, and enjoy figuring out how things work (and why they fail)… you’ll fit right in.
