1 Making a Measurable Difference Through Technology RUBBER PRODUCTS

2 W e M o l d P a r t n e r s h i p s Wabtec s mission is to be judged by its customers to be a worldclass the partnerships we build with each customer. We consider ourselves an extension corporation focused on helping its global rail and transit of our customers capabilities believing that we are as important to their success customers compete more effectively through higher levels of quality, as they are to ours. Wabtec is ready with the technology, experience and safety and productivity. Wabtec s rubber products are as unique as commitment to produce rubber parts to the most demanding specifications.

3 T e c h n o l o g y I s O u r S p e c i a l t y Wabtec Rubber Products was one of the pioneers in fabric-reinforced rubber. We've patented new composites and upgraded existing compounds to outperform In today s world, we partner with our customers who demand higher speed, greater industry standards. Often our efforts have doubled or tripled the service of life of a efficiency, more durability and greater precision than ever before while maintaining key component. This is what "Research & Development" is to us: improving the the highest standard of quality in their products. We remain at the forefront of elastomeric component so it, in turn, can help our customers improve their products. rubber technology and continue to aggressively develop new applications to solve our customers' problems. Engineering Development Lab Dimensional Lab Physical & Mechanical Testing Facility W e M o l d Q u a l i t y I n t o E v e r y P r o d u c t Kaizan Principles The principles of the Kaizen philosophy have been integrated into the entire family of Wabtec companies. Through this process, we review our business processes and adjust them to improve our business practices. Based on the philosophy that what we do today should be better than yesterday and what we do tomorrow should be better than today, never resting on the status quo. Value Stream Mapping Value Stream mapping eliminates non-value-added activities throughout the production process, shortening production time and reducing cost to our customers. Priority Deployment A planning and implementation process that focuses the efforts of all Wabtec employees on achieving major, breakthrough objectives that support the long-term goals of the enterprise: the company, corporation and ultimately our customer.

5 George Westinghouse conceived the straight air brake while sitting in a passenger car that was delayed while the wreckage of a head-on collision between two freight trains was cleared from the tracks ahead of him. Engineers in each locomotive saw the oncoming train, and both signaled the need for an emergency stop by sounding whistles, but could do little to avoid a collision. A few years later, George Westinghouse introduced the straight air brake, in which a mechanical compressor delivered air from car to car through a series of pipes and hoses to force brake shoes against the turning wheels of a train to stop it. Today, more than 130 years later, new inventions still begin with a big idea. But getting those ideas from one s brain and into the customers hands is the tricky part. The product must be researched, designed, tested and produced at a reasonable cost, so the manufacturer can charge a fair market price. And it must stand out from the competition. W a b t e c R u b b e r P r o d u c t s Wabtec Rubber Products is a subsidiary of the Wabtec Corporation, a leading supplier of value-added, technology based product and services for rail, transit and other global industries. An ISO-9002 certified company, Wabtec Rubber specializes in producing custom-molded rubber products in standard or customized compounds. We have nearly a century of experience supplying components for quality and value-sensitive Industrial/OEM applications, as well as for railway braking and related equipment manufactured by other Wabtec business units.
