Rubber Products Industry Profession

Rubber is an important plant for the economy of Thailand, which has historically been the world's leading exporter. However, amidst changing contexts, such as rising labor costs in the country, understanding and accepting these changes will help all parties involved to adapt appropriately. In terms of rubber products, these materials can be used in various engineering applications in downstream industries. Rubber products are part of daily conveniences, such as automotive tires (Tyres) and automotive rubber parts (Auto Parts), or products made from concentrated latex, such as rubber gloves, rubber foam, and balloons. Additionally, rubber products used in engineering or industries include rubber floor mats, rubber bearings (Rubber Bearings), conveyor belts (Belts), and other rubber products like stationery, adhesives, and sports equipment. Within some of the same product categories, there are varying levels of quality and price. Manufacturing products that meet the required quality standards is crucial for gaining acceptance in the market. The steps involved in production may vary in their specificity, and in the competitive landscape of this industry—both domestically and for export—the development of skilled labor, technicians, or workers in various stages is essential. This development is important not only for reducing production costs and waste but also for significantly improving efficiency and achieving the desired productivity.
