Durable, Field-Tested Plastic Canteens: A Legacy That Endures

Originally founded as a full-service custom molding company, R&D Molders built a reputation for reliability and craftsmanship over nearly four decades and was acquired by Lomont Molding as part of its strategic expansion into Blow Molding.

Today, the R&D name continues through R&D Molders Canteens, a proprietary product line of Lomont Molding LLC. These high-durability plastic canteens, originally developed for rugged military, government, and field-use applications, are now produced exclusively by Lomont using proven tooling and processes.

Tooling & Machining Capabilities

A major strength of R&D was its in-house tooling and CNC capabilities. Today, that skillset still plays an important role within Lomont’s network, with select equipment and personnel continuing to support specialized machining needs.

R&D Canteens

The R&D Molders Canteens product line remains an active proprietary offering under Lomont Molding. Known for their rugged design and long-term durability, they represent the enduring quality associated with the R&D name.
