(AEP) founded in 1930 and located in Acton Vale, Quebec, Canada, is a Canadian manufacturer of high end rubber engineered products. Alfred Lambert, an important businessman, who had already been working in the footwear industry since 1892, decided to manufacture a wide range of rubber boots and shoes in response to a growing demand to design boots and over-shoes that would meet the needs of the armed forces, police, firefighters, workers and miners. After a modest beginning, supplying the armed forces during World War II gave a real boost to the company's production output. In 1999, AirBoss of America Corp. acquired the company founded by Alfred Lambert, which, under his leadership and technology became AirBoss Engineered Products Inc. The company was first known as "Acton Rubber Limited" and then "Acton International Inc.". Later AirBoss Engineered Products Inc. became the Quebec affiliation of AirBoss of America Corp. having another plant in Kitchener, Ontario - operating under the name of AirBoss Rubber Compounding. Today a 3rd facility is in operation in Scotland Neck, North Carolina. AirBoss Engineered Products (AEP), a leader in custom rubber mixing, calendaring and extrusion develops, manufactures and markets high-quality; proprietary rubber-based products which provide enhanced product performance.
