The MRO Americas 2025 Conference at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta brought together industry leaders from across the aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sector. One of the most insightful moments of the event was our meeting with Ben MacDonald, Sales Manager at The Rubber Group, a premier manufacturer of engineered rubber products.
A Strategic Conversation with The Rubber Group
Ben, representing The Rubber Group (based in Rochester, New Hampshire), met with Brian Schwam of WTP Advisors to explore how financial strategies like Transfer Pricing and IC-DISC could benefit his company. Located at 22 Nadeau Dr, Rochester, NH, and proudly ISO 9001:2015 certified, The Rubber Group has carved out a strong reputation in the MRO space for its quality and innovation.

Why Transfer Pricing Matters for Global Manufacturers
Brian introduced Ben to WTP Advisors’ Transfer Pricing services, which help global companies manage their intercompany transactions in a tax-efficient and compliant manner. For a business like The Rubber Groupāwith an expanding international footprintāproper Transfer Pricing isn’t just a best practice, it’s essential.
Brian shared how our experts conduct detailed, armās-length pricing analyses to ensure that profits are allocated properly across jurisdictions. The outcome? Reduced tax liabilities, minimized audit risks, and more capital for growth initiatives like product innovation or facility upgrades.
IC-DISC: A Powerful Tax Incentive for Exporters
The conversation then turned to the Interest Charge-Domestic International Sales Corporation (IC-DISC), a powerful tax incentive specifically for U.S. exporters. As The Rubber Group ships its products globally, it’s ideally positioned to benefit from IC-DISC.
Brian outlined how WTP Advisors can structure an IC-DISC that enables companies to defer federal tax on export income, improving cash flow and supporting long-term investment. Ben was especially intrigued by how this could free up funds for launching new product lines or enhancing production capabilitiesāboth key to The Rubber Groupās future strategy.
Shared Values, Shared Vision
Throughout the meeting, Ben emphasized The Rubber Groupās commitment to quality manufacturing and customer satisfaction, while Brian shared success stories from other MRO clients who have thrived with WTP Advisorsā support. This mutual exchange of ideas and insights highlighted how strategic financial planning can serve as a growth engine for companies in the MRO ecosystem.
