Internship Informatica Pim Jobs (NOW HIRING)

When Alfred Fain founded a small Rhode Island tire store in 1924, no one could have predicted how Teknor Apex would grow into an international custom compounder serving companies around the world. Today, with operations across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, we remain a privately held company rooted in strong employee and customer relationships.

“Manufacturing is a team sport, and we work together to achieve our goals.” ~ Jon Fain
