RB Rubber Products is an exciting, progressive and expanding company who has become a leader in the rubber recycling industry. Our success is attributed to maintaining a balance of high quality products and excellent customer service. Constant attention to these two core elements have allowed us to branch out to become the largest manufacturer and distributor for horse stall flooring in North America, and a key player in Fitness and Commercial flooring applications.
Today, we are recognized nationally as a leader in rubber flooring and rubber recycling technology. It is with a sense of proud accomplishment that we are able to take a waste material and turn it into a product that is in demand and still in use 5, 10, and 20 years later.
RB Rubber products is a true example of a Research & Development company. In 1985, a man with a vision purchased an inventor's idea for manufacturing rubber matting using raw material that was being land-filled. Beginning with a concept and a prototype machine, he and his co-workers built the company from the ground up. The desire to find uses for tire rubber other than burning or ending up in landfills has been the driving force that has pushed RB Rubber to grow to become a leader in the processing of scrap tires into crumb rubber. This material is the main feed stock for RB Rubber's product lines.
Our founder has taken a prototype machine and an inventor's idea and created a profitable manufacturing company whose products are made from recycled rubber. Through extensive Research and Development efforts, we have established and fine-tuned a proprietary manufacturing process that allows us to create high quality and diverse products while keeping costs at a minimum.
Early on, we recognized the difficulty in acquiring an adequate supply of crumb rubber, our raw material feed stock used in the manufacturing of our products. Our search for a long-term solution led us to develop our own equipment, giving us the processing capabilities to make our own raw material. This change lowered our raw material cost significantly while increasing the supply. We are able to make our own crumb rubber for our product lines. This ability to process tire chips has allowed us to concentrate on expansion without fear of raw material shortages and/or being subject to uncontrolled price hikes by suppliers. (Even though there is a viable market for the crumb rubber we process, directing it into high-end products like rubber mats is a more stable market.)
Today RB Rubber and its affiliates employ over 150 people and recycle millions of pounds of rubber per year into useful, long-term products such as Rubber Mats, and Rubber Playground Tiles. These products, once their use has expired, can be recycled again and again.
