American Synthetic Rubber Company broke ground in 1942 and the first product was produced in 1943. This site was built to assist the United States in supplying synthetic rubber for the war efforts during World War II.
In 1992, Michelin became the sole owner of ASRC, making the plant the oldest Michelin facility in the United States. Today, we are one of three plants, across multiple countries, who make the unique synthetic rubber that allows Michelin tires to be the best tires in the world.
We are also the sole supplier of the liquid polymer that is used as the binder in the solid rocket motor boosters for NASA’s Artemis.
