 Rogers Corp. Celebrates Grand Opening of Rogers Technologies Suzhou
                           Company in China

    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2004--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) today celebrated the grand opening of Rogers Technologies
Suzhou Company Ltd (RSZ), a wholly owned subsidiary, located in
Suzhou, People's Republic of China. The celebration was initially
postponed due to the SARS outbreak in early 2003.
    Rogers opened its first Suzhou facility in October 2002, adding
manufacturing capability for the ENDUR(R) roller product line, which
serves the imaging and computer markets. It has also begun processing
high-frequency laminate circuit materials for use in communications
applications. The second facility, opened in 2003, houses
manufacturing operations for Nitrophyl(R) floats, which serve the
transportation and liquid propane markets.
    The company will complete construction of a third facility in June
2004, and will begin construction of the fourth facility in July.
These facilities will bring the total manufacturing space to over
25,000 square meters.
    Robert D. Wachob, President and CEO, commented at the ceremony,
"These are and will continue to be exciting times for Rogers as our
growth quickens. Three years from now, we expect more than 50% of our
sales will be in Asia. One of our strategies has been to think
globally, but act and supply locally. Today we are realizing that
goal."
    Rogers Corporation, headquartered in Rogers, CT, U.S.A., develops
and manufactures high-performance specialty materials, which serve a
diverse range of markets including: wireless communications, computers
and networking, imaging, transportation and consumer. Rogers operates
manufacturing facilities in Connecticut, Arizona, and Illinois in the
U.S., in Gent, Belgium, in Suzhou, China, and in Hwasung City, Korea.
Sales offices are located in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, China,
and Singapore.
