Rubbermaid was formed in 1920 as the Wooster Rubber Company, a maker of toy balloons. In 1934, the company pioneered the rubber housewares business with the introduction of the first rubber dustpan. In 1955, the company produced its first plastic product, a dishpan. This product launched the Wooster Rubber Company into the housewares business. In the 1950s, the Wooster Rubber Company also developed a breakthrough product for the hotel industry--a safety bath mat with suction cups on the bottom. This deceptively simple product presented a huge technical challenge and involved a complicated three-layer mold. For Rubbermaid, it escalated the companys development and ultimately helped lead to the establishment of Rubbermaid Commercial Products. In 1957, the Wooster Rubber Company changed its corporate name to Rubbermaid Inc. to further capitalize on the strength of its major brand, a brand that had become nationally recognized for quality and value. Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP), headquartered in Winchester, Virginia, was established in 1968 to manufacture and market products for the commercial and institutional markets. Throughout its almost 40 year history, RCP demonstrated leadership consistent with its heritage. In the 1970s, RCP led in the technology conversion from metal and wood to plastic and in the 1980s, it led in the development of high performance industrial and agricultural products. 1986 also saw RCP expand into the cleaning implements business with the acquisition of Seco Industries, a leading manufacturer of floorcare products. In the 1990s, commercial product focus turned to globalization and increasing its solution-based new product focus. 1995 saw RCP introduce a record number of new products and recorded receipt of ISO 9001 certification. Today, Rubbermaid Commercial Products is a division of Newell Rubbermaid Inc. It continues to develop innovative products and system solutions in the categories of food service, cleaning, safety, material handling, waste and agriculture. Manufacturing and distribution are handled from five facilities: four in the US and one in Mexico. RCP is represented in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East through a network of sales offices and authorized distributors.
