The Rubber Trade Association of Europe (RTAE) was established in 2002 as a successor to the old Rubber Trade Association of London (RTAL) and the Association of the International Rubber Trade (AIRT).  The RTAE continues a 100-year tradition at the heart of international rubber trading through the European market.

Membership - open to producers, brokers, dealers, traders and consumers in any territory - is, as it always has been, subject to exacting conditions and the acceptance of the highest ethical standards.

Despite the strength of its traditions, the RTAE is very much a forward-looking organisation.  We are constantly developing our facilities to afford members the support they need to meet the challenges of the 21st century as well as meeting old challenges that can recur.
