Special rubbers or modifications to raw NR are areas where RRIM continues to be avtive. The growth of the rubber product manufacturing industries in Malaysia is in line with Government aspirations on resources based industrialisation. The role of the RRIM as initiators,problem solvers, and in providing assistance in a number of instances involving footwear, latex products, tyres engineering and general rubber goods is described. [Author's abstract].

Malaysia's rubber manufacturing sector is a prime example of an industry based on a locally produced agricultural resource. In Rubber Manufacturing in Malaysia, C.C. Goldthorpe draws on industrial policy theory along with many years of practical experience to examine the growth of rubber manufacturing in Malaysia. Over the past century, a series of technological discoveries resulted in the worldwide rise of a rubber production industry that manufactures tyres for motor vehicles, engineering components, household gloves and medical products. Goldthorpe argues that the production of rubber goods has played a significant part in the transformation of the country from primary commodity producer to newly industrialized economy, a position he supports by tracing the historical development of rubber-based industrial production and the effects of government policies promoting industrialization. Taken as a whole, the rubber industry is vertically integrated, with locally produced natural and synthetic rubbers used by the rubber manufacturing sector to produce latex products and general rubber goods for export markets.
