04/12/2026
Industrial equipment manufacturer HF Rubber plans to expand its operations in Topeka, Kansas. The $1.6 million project is expected to create 19 jobs in Shawnee County.

The investment at the company’s existing site will include facility upgrades and expanded capabilities to support machine rebuilding, new machine assembly, and maintenance services.

“This investment allows us to better serve our clients with enhanced capabilities while creating new opportunities for our employees,” said John Adams, Executive Vice President of HF Rubber Machinery. “We’re proud to invest in Topeka, a community that has supported us for over 65 years, and we look forward to contributing to its continued economic vitality.”

To support the project, the Joint Economic Development Organization approved an incentive package totaling $147,000, including performance-based support for real property investment, equipment purchases, workforce training, and job creation.

“HF Rubber is a clear example of how strategic partnerships can fuel growth in key industries,” noted Rhiannon Friedman, President of GO Topeka. “This expansion strengthens our manufacturing base, creates high-quality jobs, and demonstrates the confidence local employers have in Topeka’s future.”

HF Rubber provides machine rebuilding, assembly, and maintenance services for industrial equipment, supported by advanced manufacturing capabilities and a nationwide service network.
