interesting
history

Our first company Metalco was started in July 1996 with the prime objective of being a specialist exporter of latex and natural rubber. Just one year later we started Oriental Rubber Products to expand our operations to cover downstream products such as gloves and rubber bands.
Along the way, we gathered more customers for latex and natural rubber, which is now the mainstay of both companies.

With humble beginnings as a small team of three, we have now grown into a group of highly engaged professionals committed to serving our customers across the globe.
Based in Bangkok, Thailand, we started with exporting Thai-origin natural rubber and latex. We now proudly offer all grades of natural rubber and latex from all major rubber-producing origins. These include Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Ivory Coast.
