about us

Mills Rubber started in Clayton, Melbourne in 1947 and quickly grew to become the leader in the then relatively new polymer of silicone, manufacturing extruded and moulded parts.  This commitment to new and innovative products and processes enabled Mills Rubber to grow into one of the major suppliers to the Australian automotive and white good sectors.

Ormiston Rubber Co. Pty Ltd started in Moonee Ponds Melbourne in 1937 to manufacture rubber tennis & squash balls and other consumer goods.  Ormiston Rubber Co Pty Ltd origins can be traced back to 1876 when Barnet Glass migrated from Manchester, England and established Barnet Glass Rubber in Carlton. Household names followed in the famous PC49 glue and Ormiston Erasers.  As markets changed, Ormiston Rubber Co Pty Ltd business evolved into the supply of industrial moulded and extruded rubber products drawing upon its extensive organic rubber compound base and knowledge.

With the coming together of these two iconic Australian businesses in October 2014, Mills Ormiston Rubber Pty Ltd was formed.  The merger represents a major commitment from the families associated with the two foundation business to the future of Australian manufacturing.
