What started in 1985 as one man's vision to keep used tires out of a local landfill has evolved into a leading manufacturer of recycled rubber flooring, tiles, mats, EPDM granules and other products. Today, Ultimate RB is one of the largest and most technically advanced tire recyclers in the world with the ability to make quality products that contain up to 96% post-consumer waste. As the only manufacturer in the world producing its own tire crumb, EPDM granules and urethane binder, Ultimate RB is uniquely positioned to offer consistent quality and value to customers in a broad range of industries.
RB Rubber was established in 1985 by Ron Bogh when he purchased an inventor's experimental process for making matting products out of recycled tires. The company grew rapidly to become the leading manufacturer of equine matting in the United States. In May 2014, AccellaTM acquired RDT Manufacturing and RTH Processing. RTH is the largest US manufacturer of EPDM granules, available in a limitless variety of colors. RDT produces rolled rubber products and tiles made from recycled materials. With this combination of product line diversity, quality control, and multiple production sites, Ultimate RB is uniquely positioned to offer consistent quality and value to customers in a broad range of industries.
Ultimate RB utilizes three distinct production processes to create tiles with different characteristics. Tiles generated on our large matting press are extremely dense and durable. The tiles that are made from our rolled rubber material are lighter and more flexible, and our molding process can produce tiles in nearly any shape or configuration. By varying thickness, density and material formulations, we can achieve different aesthetic and performance characteristics within each tile category. Ultimate RB tiles are used in many markets and situations.
