BURLINGTON, N.C. – Rubberflex Sdn. Bhd. of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and DeSales Trading Company, based here, has begun a partnership in the distribution of 100 percent latex rubber thread in the United States.

 

“DeSales offers excellent channel for our products to reach the elastic narrow fabric, braided rope and related market segments in the Eastern half of the United States,” said

Amy Wong, international sales coordinator at Rubberflex. “Even some of our container-load customers use DeSales as a backup to maintain a consistent inventory.”

 

DeSales carries a wide range of gauges and end counts.

 

Specialty gauges and end counts will be stocked on request. Customers can source from DeSales in pallet-load quantities, therefore offering the convenience of prompt deliveries in less than container load orders. Rubberflex, first organized in 1986, is currently the world’s largest producer of 100 percent natural latex rubber thread.

 

Since 1969, DeSales Trading Company has been a distributor of stock-lot yarns and over time has added first-quality yarns to its product mix.

 

“The addition of 100 percent latex rubber thread from Rubberflex is a natural progression in our line of products we offer to market segments we already service,” said Michael Murray, vice president at DeSales. “The product mix Rubberflex offers: 20 gauge to 110 gauge rubber, silicone & talcum finishes in black & white presents an opportunity for our customers to source their yarns and rubber thread needs from one central location in the heart of the textile business in the United States – Burlington, N.C.”
