About ROGERS CORP

Rogers Corporation is a U.S.-based specialty materials company listed on the NYSE under the ticker ROG. Headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, United States, the company traces its roots back to 1832, when Peter Rogers founded it as Rogers Paper Manufacturing Company. Over nearly two centuries, Rogers has transformed into a global engineered-materials supplier focused on high-performance applications where electrical reliability, thermal management, durability, vibration absorption, and lightweight design matter. Rogers is organized around two core business platforms: Advanced Electronics Solutions and Elastomeric Material Solutions. In advanced electronics, the company provides high-frequency laminates and substrates, power-electronics materials, and engineered solutions used in EV/HEV systems, automotive radar, ADAS platforms, wireless infrastructure, industrial power systems, and aerospace and defense applications. In elastomeric materials, Rogers supplies specialty foam and foam-based materials that help protect, seal, cushion, and isolate components in consumer electronics, automotive systems, industrial products, and connected devices. This product mix gives the group exposure to markets that are smaller in volume but typically more demanding in technical specifications and more attractive in terms of value-added differentiation. From a competitive standpoint, Rogers is best viewed as a niche technology and materials player with strong application know-how and a reputation for innovation. Its market position is supported by engineering depth, customer intimacy, and intellectual property, rather than broad commodity-scale manufacturing. That positioning can be advantageous in markets benefiting from secular trends such as electrification, 5G and wireless infrastructure upgrades, higher power density in electronics, and the continuing push for better energy efficiency. The company’s geographic footprint is global, with meaningful manufacturing, sales, and administrative activities across North America, Europe, and Asia, including operations in China, Germany, England, Belgium, South Korea, and Hungary. Recent developments have been important for investors. Rogers reported its full-year and fourth-quarter 2025 results on February 17, 2026, highlighting 2025 net sales of $810.8 million and an improvement in adjusted profitability, while also noting ongoing uncertainty related to tariffs and global trade conditions. The company also went through a leadership transition in July 2025, when Colin Gouveia departed as President and CEO and Ali El-Haj was appointed interim CEO. In May 2026, Rogers announced the addition of two new board members, signaling continued governance refreshment. For French, Belgian, and Swiss investors, Rogers represents a specialized industrial materials name on the NYSE in the United States, with attractive exposure to long-term technology and electrification themes, albeit with cyclical sensitivity to electronics, automotive, and global trade dynamics.
