Staff Accountant II

Join to apply for the Staff Accountant II role at Teknor Apex Company

When Alfred Fain founded a small Rhode Island tire store in 1924, it was unimaginable that his company would evolve into an international custom compo under sought by firms worldwide. After nearly a century of growth, Teknor Apex now operates nine U.S. locations and has operations in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China.

Throughout this global expansion Teknor has remained a privately held company, and today Fain’s grandson sits at the helm, maintaining the family’s tradition of fostering deep employee and customer relationships. These relationships allow Teknor to deliver customized compound solutions and help customers create better products.
