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 1995, the company developed the molding process that is used to produce playground safety tiles and other products, and it purchased a tire recycling facility in 1998. | RB Rubber was purchased in 1999 by Accella Performance MaterialsTM (previously DASH Multi-Corp), a diversified St. Louis-based holding company established in 1974 by the entrepreneur Marvin Wool. | The company greatly expanded its flooring products offering via the addition of a rolled rubber production process in 2001. | In May 2014, AccellaTM acquired RDT Manufacturing and RTH Processing.
