With better products, the people who use them work better. Work is better behind our shield.Our story is one defined by growth, success, change, innovation, hard work and dedication. It is a story written by winning people with winning attitudes.It began in 1958 when a single salesman was assigned by Rubbermaid Incorporated to call on hotels and motels to sell doormats and bathmats. This sales pitch was the start of Rubbermaids institutional business, formally established as Rubbermaid Commercial Products. RCP became a separate entity from Rubbermaid, Inc. in 1968.That same year, a new, 145,000 square-foot plant was built in Winchester, Virginia, to manufacture and market products for commercial and institutional markets. Production and distribution began in the fall, and John Gans, who led the formation of RCP, was named the first Vice President and General Manager of the business. Gans was joined by a number of tenacious managers and employees eager to learn and produce high quality excellence. In the first year alone, RCP employees produced and shipped an inventory of 221 different items.As we moved into the 1970s, RCP led the technology conversion from metal and wood to plastic, and by the end of the decade, RCP expanded outside of the Winchester area with a new manufacturing and distribution plant in Texas. In the 1980s, RCP pioneered the development of high performance industrial, cleaning and agricultural products, and solidified a market leadership position that would remain in place for years to come.Innovation is at the heart of our legacy, but were proud of the trusted partnerships weve created with loyal distributors and customers. Its remarkable how many of our original partners have been by our side since we opened our doors in 1968. Thanks to them, RCP has become the brand it is today, helping people work better behind our shield.With headquarters now in Huntersville, North Carolina, and worldwide state-of-the-art facilities spread across four continents with more than 1,700 associates, RCP continues to expand into product categories where brand matters and customers place a premium on innovation.
