History
In 1963, E.E. Embury, Inc., was founded in Long Beach, California by Erwin “Ed” Embury. A family-focused company from the start, E.E. Embury, Inc., was originally a manufacturing rep for big businesses in the oil industry, but quickly transitioned into offering custom products to companies of all sizes. Embury’s son, Phil Embury, moved the company’s manufacturing segment to Bakersfield, California, to better serve customers.
Since our start, we have been a proud supplier of high quality rubber products for the oilfield industry. In 2001, our corporate name was changed to Global Elastomeric Products, Inc. Although our name has changed, our commitment to excellent products and quality customer service has remained the same.
There are a few other things that haven’t changed. For example, we’re still a private and family-owned company and still committed to our employees and customers. Many of our employees have remained with us for decades and are committed not only to our quality but to our customers. Our team truly wants to make a difference for large and small businesses in the oilfield industry.

What Is Elastomer Material?
Elastomer material is a polymer with a notably rubber-like elasticity, also known as viscoelasticity. Its key characteristic is its ability to retain its shape, even after being stretched or deformed.
Learn more about what elastomers are and what you can use them for.
What Is Elastomer Material Used For?
You can find elastomer material in various products throughout several industries — you may even own a few items with elastomer material. Everyday uses of this product include tires, footwear and sporting goods. Certain industries — such as aerospace, automotive and construction — will use elastomers to dampen vibrations and provide insulation to projects.
Manufacturing and Processing of Elastomer Rubber
The name elastomer comes from the term “elastic polymers,” which are made of several polymers cross-linked together with chemical bonds. Manufacturers purify raw materials, combine them with a catalyst and react them to create a polymer.
The process can vary, but will generally follow these steps:
- Boil raw materials to remove residual water and purify ingredients
- Mix purified ingredients with a catalyst to alter chemistry and create a polymer
- Add in another catalyst to stop the reaction at the proper moment
The Importance of Elastomer in the Oil Industry
At Global Elastomeric Products, Inc., we prioritize using the highest-quality elastomer in our oil industry products. All our products are made in the USA and tested and examined to ensure we offer our customers reliable solutions.
Specifically, elastomers are ideal for the following applications in the oil industry:
- Sealing: Elastomers are effective sealants for various oilfield components, preventing leaks that could lead to environmental damage. We sell packer elements and valve seals and BOP seals for your oil applications.
- High-pressure resistance: Elastomers work well in the oil industry, as they can withstand high pressures in drilling and production operations. This material is known for its ability to stretch and maintain its form, even under rugged conditions.
- Temperature tolerance: Elastomers can also function well in a wide range of temperatures, a critical characteristic for deep-well operations. It will also maintain its shape with hot oil and gas.

Understanding the Global Energy Mix and Why It's Important
The straightforward definition of “energy mix” refers to the combination of resources to meet energy needs. These resources include fossil fuels, renewable sources and nuclear power. The global energy mix looks at how much of these resources are used worldwide and can further categorize the data by country.
The Long-Term Value of Elastomer Testing and Quality Control
An elastomer is a polymer that stretches under tension and returns to its original shape to support products that require flexibility and impact resistance. To ensure they can correctly do their job, elastomers must undergo rigorous testing and quality control management.
