Start with whatever you have. We will separate confirmed specs from open questions before quoting.
Rubber RFQs, matched to the right factory.
Meridian is a Taiwan-based rubber sourcing desk. Send us a drawing, sample, or problem description. We triage the specification, shortlist capable manufacturers, coordinate quotes and samples, and help buyers avoid the wrong factory match.

02 / Positioning
A rubber part is small until it stops a product line. We help buyers turn unclear RFQs into factory-ready specifications.
Complete RFQs get an initial review target of one business day, with clear next questions if data is missing.
We match by molding, extrusion, bonding, silicone, material experience, MOQ and export readiness.
Best for industrial, mobility, machinery, aftermarket, consumer and recurring procurement programs.
03 / RFQ workflow
From drawing to quote - without guessing.
01
RFQ intake
We collect the drawing, sample photos, material, hardness, tolerance, usage environment, annual volume, packaging, and target market requirements.

02
Technical triage
We clarify material choices such as NBR, EPDM, FKM, silicone, NR, HNBR, and flag unclear tolerance or testing requirements before asking factories.

03
Factory shortlist
We route the RFQ to the right process: compression, injection, extrusion, rubber-to-metal bonding, hose, tubing, silicone, or custom molding.

04 / What we source
Rubber parts that need the right process, not just the lowest quote.
/ 01 - Sealing
O-rings, seals,
gaskets
Standard and custom sealing components for industrial, automotive, e-bike, machinery, and aftermarket programs.
/ 02 - Custom molded
Custom molded
rubber parts
Compression, transfer, and injection molding for bushings, plugs, pads, boots, bellows, caps, dampers, and custom shapes.
/ 03 - Rubber-to-metal
Bonded mounts &
inserts
Rubber bonded to steel, aluminum, brass, or stainless components for vibration, mounting, and industrial assemblies.
/ 04 - Extrusion

tubing
Solid, sponge, and dual-durometer extrusion for weatherstrip, edge trim, sealing profiles, tubing, cords, and cut-to-length parts.
/ 05 - Silicone / LSR
Silicone and
LSR parts
Silicone components for consumer, electronics, industrial, high-temperature, and custom molded applications when the RFQ needs process-fit suppliers.
/ 06 - RFQ support
RFQ packages &
factory replies
We help turn scattered buyer inputs into a clearer RFQ brief, then organize factory questions, quote comparisons, and sample follow-up.
05 / Commercial models
Start light. Scale only when the part makes sense.
RFQ desk
For early-stage projects. We help clarify the specification, contact factories, compare quotes, and prepare next-step questions.
Best for: first-time buyer, unclear drawings, supplier search.
Factory matching
For buyers that need better supplier fit. We route the RFQ to factories by process, material, MOQ, application, and quote readiness.
Best for: buyers comparing multiple manufacturing routes.
Quote coordination
For active RFQs. We organize factory replies into comparable quote points: tooling, unit price, MOQ, sample lead time, and open questions.
Best for: buyers who need a clean quote comparison before choosing a supplier.

07 / FAQ
What buyers usually ask before sharing drawings.
Can you sign an NDA first?
Yes. Use the RFQ form to request an NDA. Do not upload confidential drawings on this page; email drawings only after the NDA or first reply.
Do you manufacture the parts?
Meridian is positioned as a sourcing and project coordination desk. Manufacturing is handled by selected partner factories. The commercial model can be agency or trading depending on the project.
What is Meridian's scope?
Meridian focuses on RFQ sourcing: clarifying the request, finding suitable factories, coordinating quote questions, and helping compare supplier replies.
What should I include in the RFQ?
Drawing or sample photos, material, hardness, dimensions, tolerance, quantity, target application, temperature/oil/chemical exposure, target price, and timeline.
