        Rogers Corporation Announces Share Buy-Back Program

    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2004--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved
the investment of up to $25 million for the purchase of shares for a
new buy-back program.
    The timing and exact number of shares purchased will be determined
at the Company's discretion and will depend on market conditions. All
repurchases will be on the open market and funded from existing cash.
Currently, the Company has approximately 17 million shares of common
stock outstanding. The share buy-back program will be complete or
cancelled within 12 months.
    "We believe that the current share price does not reflect the

excellent opportunity for us to initiate a share buy-back program,"
said Robert Wachob, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The
initiative reflects our commitment to promote long-term shareholder
value."
