Company History
Established in 1962 by Robert Samples, Akron Rubber Development Laboratory, Inc. (ARDL) began its legacy
with a staff of only two. Over the past 45 years, ARDL has established itself as a leading international laboratory
dedicated to providing testing, development and problem solving services to all facets of the rubber and plastic
industries.
ARDL now employs over 100 personnel that operate three modern laboratories in Akron, Ohio. In late 2004,
with the aim of more efficiently serving its worldwide market, ARDL proudly announced the opening of its
fourth laboratory in Cochin, India.
The success and growth of any company is only as good as the people behind it. It takes in-depth practical
experience and the formal professional education of a competent staff with experience in polymers, compounding,
testing and consulting to meet the ever-changing needs of customers and do the job right. ARDL's trained technicians
are certified to conduct testing through an in-house program of continuing education and certification.
That's why ARDL's growth over the last five decades has truly been achieved and sustained by the dedicated
group of problem solvers with a solid background and experience in their respective fields.
