About
Custom fabricators of foam, rubber & plastic.
A converter and fabricator of cellular foam, solid rubber, sponge, plastic film, and pressure-sensitive laminations — engineered to print, inspected in-house, delivered to spec. 3M Authorized Convertor/Fabricator, ISO 9001:2015 certified, built in Costa Mesa, California.
Serving cutting-edge technology to industry since 1985.
PAX Industries was founded in 1985 in Costa Mesa, California as a converter and fabricator of cellular foam, solid rubber, sponge, plastic film, and pressure-sensitive laminations. The work has stayed the same ever since: close-tolerance parts manufactured per print, on schedule, to specification.
Today, PAX operates as an extension of customer engineering teams across the medical, electronics, industrial, automotive, packaging, aerospace, and military supply chains. Material selection, design-for-manufacturability review, prototyping, and production fabrication all execute under one roof.
Quick quote response. Low-minimum prototype acceptance. Production runs scaled to forecast. In-house ACCU-Gauge inspection on every order. The deliverable is custom foam, rubber, and plastic components that arrive ready to integrate.
Commitment to the highest standards in service and quality.
Four operating principles that govern every quote, every part, and every shipment.
An extension of your engineering team.
Material selection, design-for-manufacturability review, and fabrication guidance delivered alongside your design and procurement teams — closed-cell sponge, open-cell polyurethane, solid rubber, films, EMI/RFI shielding, and custom silicone extrusion on call.
