History

Established in 1832 by Peter Rogers under the name Rogers Paper Manufacturing Company, the enterprise currently operates through two primary divisions: Advanced Electronics Solutions and Elastomeric Material Solutions. It has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since April 2000.

In 2004, the company expanded its manufacturing footprint by founding Rogers Technologies Suzhou Company Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary located in Suzhou, China. This move followed the opening of two manufacturing plants in 2002 and 2003 dedicated to roller and high-frequency laminate products.

Rogers further broadened its international presence with the 2011 acquisition of curamik® Electronics, a German manufacturer specializing in power electronic substrates.

To facilitate strategic expansion, Rogers moved its corporate headquarters from Killingly, Connecticut to Chandler, Arizona in 2016.

In November 2021, DuPont proposed acquiring Rogers for $5.2 billion; however, due to regulatory challenges in China causing delays, DuPont ultimately canceled the transaction and compensated Rogers with a $162.5 million termination fee.

By 2023, Rogers had established operations across multiple countries including the United States, China, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.

Products and technology

The Advanced Electronics Solutions segment provides sophisticated materials aimed at enhancing signal integrity, RF signal control, power efficiency and distribution, as well as thermal management. Its offerings encompass high-frequency laminates, bondplys, prepregs, cooling systems, ceramic substrates, and busbars.

Within the Elastomeric Material Solutions division, engineered products include PORON® polyurethane foams, BISCO® high-performance silicones, ARLON® custom silicone formulations, DeWAL™ PTFE and UHMW films and tapes, alongside XRD® impact protection materials.

Rogers also develops liquid cooling components tailored for thermal regulation of high-power laser diodes and optical devices. These cooling assemblies integrate copper foil channels bonded within compact blocks featuring aluminum-nitride (AlN) isolation layers to optimize performance.

The company produces PORON® microcellular polyurethane products renowned for their durability and resilience across diverse industrial applications.

In March 2020, Rogers initiated legal action against ElastaPro alleging misappropriation of trade secrets related to proprietary technical formulations and manufacturing knowledge.
