Rugged, field-tested canteens with a legacy of military-grade durability, now proudly made by Lomont Molding.
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.
R&D Molders: Proven Expertise, Preserved
Precision Blow Molding
R&D Molders earned a strong reputation for producing reliable, high-performance blow-molded components. That same process knowledge now supports a range of applications through Lomont’s continued manufacturing operations.
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.
Integrated with Lomont
While R&D is no longer a standalone operation, its manufacturing knowledge and product support are now part of Lomont’s broader capabilities, helping customers benefit from decades of practical experience and craftsmanship.
