Rogers Corporation is a specialty engineered materials company headquartered in Chandler, Arizona.[2]
History[edit]
In 1832, the company was founded by Peter Rogers as Rogers Paper Manufacturing Company. Today, the company is composed of two business segments: Advanced Electronics Solutions[3] and Elastomeric Material Solutions.[4] The company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in April, 2000.
In 2004, Rogers started Rogers Technologies Suzhou Company Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary, located in Suzhou, China. Rogers opened its first Suzhou facility in 2002, adding manufacturing capability for their roller and high-frequency laminate products. A second manufacturing facility opened in 2003.[5]
In 2016, Rogers announced that it would move its headquarters from the village of Rogers in Killingly, Connecticut to Chandler, Arizona.[6]
In late 2021, DuPont announced that it would acquire Rogers in a deal valued at $5.2 billion.[7]

Products and technology[edit]
Rogers offers liquid cooling materials designed to dissipate large amounts of heat, and provide thermal management of high-power laser diodes and other heat-generating optical devices. The cooling structures are copper foil channels bonded into a tight block, with aluminum-nitride (AlN) isolation layers added for extra performance.[9][10]
In March 2020 Rogers filed a complaint against ElastaPro for trade secret violations, claiming that this company had unlawfully obtained Rogers' technical formulations and manufacturing knowhow.[11]
