History of Nufox Rubber Limited
1981 The origins of Nufox Rubber were in 1981, in Ashton under Lyne
Manchester, formed by a partnership of Derek Nubold and Fox Petroleum.
1990’s Nufox made some small acquisitions as the business grew.
2000 Nufox relocated to a larger facility in Middleton, Manchester.
2000’s In the following years two companies were acquired; firstly Leyland &
Birmingham Rubber Ltd, and then Dunlop Extrusions, both with a long
heritage of producing high quality industrial rubber products. In addition
both companies had been a part of the famous BTR conglomerate
The benefit of these two companies joining was the addition of a number
of highly skilled technical people with a volume of long established rubber
intellectual property, in the form of formulations and production
techniques.
2007 In 2007 we acquired the specialist hose business of Lee Healey, who have
been hand building hoses since 1933.
2010 This was followed in 2010 by Eurocraft, which had a long history of
producing specialist inflatable products for the rescue service, marine and
leisure industries.
Over 30 years experience of Elastomer development and manufacture
Lee Healey
The Lee Healey Company Ltd was formed in 1933 by
Charles Lee and Ebenezer Healey. Equipment,
materials, processes and working conditions have all
been developed and improved over time, but the skills
to hand-craft shaped, branched and bell-ended rubber
hoses have been carefully nurtured and passed down
through successive workforces and is now in our
capable hands in the Middleton factory.
These modern premises allow us to continue to
manufacture radiator, heater, and breather hoses,
rubber seals, trims and glazing strip for classic and
modern cars, trucks and buses.
Our Lee Healey replacement rubber hoses are
particularly suitable for classic & vintage cars from
1918 to the 1970s. These parts would be recognisable
to workers decades ago on assembly lines across
Europe and today are in high demand amongst the
vintage and classic car enthusiasts community who still
regard Lee Healey as an important source of
replacement parts for their treasured vehicles.
We are extremely proud to be continuing the Lee
Healey tradition and will be happy to assist you in any
element of vehicle restoration within our product
range. If we don’t have existing tooling we can start
with a sample of the part you need to replace and
reverse engineer a drawing, die or former and re-
create your component in modern materials. Our
technical team have extensive experience and look
forward to being of assistance.

Design & Development
In many projects, the use of a rubber seal,
gasket or fabrication is often paramount to
the success of a project. But often this is
only considered in depth at a late stage in
most projects.
We always try and get involved from the
start to ensure the best possible solution.
Once the initial design has been proposed,
the technical team at Nufox work with our
customer to turn the concept into reality.
We will look at the application and
consider the best raw material to use –
this will then continue to initial product
prototype for review or in some
applications will be taken to ‘fit and
function’ trials.
Once prototypes are approved, we take the product into
production and schedule the manufacturing programme,
closely linked with our quality control and inspection
process.Speciality Compounding
Compound is the backbone of all the product we
manufacture and so its important we match up the
right material for the right application.
The selection will be based on the environment the
product will be exposed to during its service life. Also
consideration should be given to any certification that
may be required. This can extend to fire testing, fume
toxicity or water potable.
In most cases we are able to go to our well selected
compounds we hold in house at our raw materials
stores, these are tried and tested to meet the needs of
most applications. If some more specialised material is This has been built up with the knowledge
required for the application, we can refer to our of technicians form Dunlop, Leyland and
extensive library of formulations. Birmingham and other sources of technical
rubber formulation. If the application is
more complex, we can assist in having
compound developed and tested to meet
the exact requirements of the project. This
is best taken after the other routes have
been explored first.
In some cases we are able to produce
product prototypes if a material with
similar characteristics, while the custom
compound is being developed and tested.
This can result on improved time lines.Engineering
Whether for a standard line or a customised
product, Nufox can engineer, refine, develop and
produce precision tooling, moulds, dies and
formers.
Our in-house engineering facility is at the hub of
our business and is key to our maintaining control
of quality, costs and our exceptional customer
service levels
One of the most important steps in producing
technical rubber products is bases in experienced
tooling design, leading to the production of high
quality tooling. We have our own in house
engineering team who can assist in converting
your design concept in to reality.
The engineering of rubber production tooling requires
many skills, these range from the most suitable tooling
metals, through to the study of material behaviour
patterns during the curing process.
The benefit of our in-house tooling production gives
our customers reduced time to produce first off pre
production samples.Quality Processes
