Rogers Corporation (NYSE: ROG) designs, develops, manufactures and sells high-quality
and high-reliability engineered materials and components for mission critical
applications. We operate principally three strategic business segments - Advanced
Connectivity Solutions (ACS), Elastomeric Material Solutions (EMS) and Power
Electronics Solutions (PES). We have a history of innovation and established
the Rogers Innovation Centers for our leading research and development activities.
Rogers was founded in 1832 and incorporated in Massachusetts in 1927. In August
2016, we announced plans to relocate our global headquarters from Rogers, Connecticut
to Chandler, Arizona. The move will build upon our presence in Arizona, where
we have significant business and manufacturing operations.
Advanced Connectivity Solutions
Our ACS segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells circuit materials
and solutions enabling high-performance and high-reliability connectivity for
applications in wireless communications infrastructure (e.g., power amplifiers,
antennas, small cells and distributed antenna systems), automotive (e.g., active
safety, advanced driver assistance systems, telematics and thermal management),
connected devices, (e.g., mobile internet devices and Internet of Things), wired
infrastructure (e.g., computing, servers and storage), consumer electronics
and aerospace/defense. We sell our circuit materials under various trade names,
including RO3000®, RO4000®, RT/duroid®, AD SeriesTM and CLTE SeriesTM.
Our ACS segment has manufacturing and administrative facilities in Chandler,
Arizona; Rogers, Connecticut; Bear, Delaware; Evergem, Belgium; and Suzhou,
China.
Elastomeric Material Solutions
Our EMS segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells elastomeric material
solutions for critical cushioning, sealing, impact protection and vibration
management applications including general industrial, portable electronics (e.g.,
mobile internet devices), consumer goods (e.g., protective sports equipment),
automotive, mass transportation, construction and printing applications. We
sell our elastomeric materials under various trade names, including DeWAL™,
ARLON®, PORON®, XRD®, BISCO® and eSORBA®. As noted above,
we acquired DeWAL and DSP in November 2016 and January 2017, respectively. We
are in the process of integrating these businesses into our EMS segment.
Our EMS segment has manufacturing and administrative facilities in Woodstock,
Connecticut; Rogers, Connecticut; Bear, Delaware; Carol Stream, Illinois; Narragansett,
Rhode Island; Santa Fe Springs, California; Suzhou, China; and Ansan, Korea.
We also own 50% of: (1) Rogers Inoac Corporation (RIC), a joint venture established
in Japan to design, develop, manufacture and sell PORON products predominantly
for the Japanese market and (2) Rogers INOAC Suzhou Corporation (RIS), a joint
venture established in China to design, develop, manufacture and sell PORON
products primarily for RIC customers in various Asian countries. INOAC Corporation
owns the remaining 50% of both RIC and RIS. RIC has manufacturing facilities
at the INOAC facilities in Nagoya and Mie, Japan, and RIS has manufacturing
facilities at Rogers’ facilities in Suzhou, China.
Power Electronics Solutions
Our PES segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells ceramic substrate
materials for power module applications (e.g., variable frequency drives, vehicle
electrification and renewable energy), laminated bus bars for power inverter
and high power interconnect applications (e.g., mass transit, hybrid-electric
and electric vehicles, renewable energy and variable frequency drives), and
micro-channel coolers (e.g., laser cutting equipment). We sell our ceramic substrate
materials and micro channel coolers under the curamik® tradename, and our
bus bars under the ROLINX® tradename.
