Jenkins Rubber Shop

Jenkins Rubber Shop aims to provide a high quality personalised service, whilst supplying local, national and international customers with an extensive range of products.

Six decades of continual service means we have created an unrivalled network of suppliers to ensure we can source the product you are looking for. If we do not stock what you need, we can find it!

Our company has had only three owners in its seventy year history since we first opened for business in Cairns in 1948, and has provided unparalleled first class service from familiar and experienced personnel since the day we opened.

Our staff members possess a wealth of knowledge and experience with foam and rubber, and work with one of the most extensive ranges of products under one roof in the state.

The continuity of long term ownership ensures customers receive the most comprehensive information from highly trained staff to select the products best suited to their needs.

Jenkins Rubber Shop supplied products for those early patrol boats and continues to supply for local Navy refit, vessel construction and maintenance for the reef fleet, the fishing fleet, and visiting luxury yachts.

Current owners, Andrew and Tracey Barnes have overseen recent growth and expanded into a large warehouse behind their premises as bulk orders of foam, matting, and rubber products increase. Semiretired past owner Judy still remains with the company maintaining and sharing her 25 plus years of knowledge.

Jenkins Rubber Shop has been owned and staffed by a succession of locals of long standing. This ensures knowledge and experience is available, together with good old-fashioned friendly service.
