Ilene Industries, Inc. is Sensitive to Changing Markets

Ilene Industries, Inc. constantly watches the US and World Economies and the evolving markets and marketplaces in which we operate to provide the best available information to our customers.

This allows us to update our inventories to reflect these changing conditions. For example, we moved quickly to provide asbestos replacement materials when the EPA banned asbestos-based products in the US.

We have expanded our facilities to incorporate the manufacturing capabilities of Silicone Rubber to meet the needs of this exploding market.
