Food Storage Containers – Rubbermaid Brilliance

Keep food fresh & organized! Airtight, BPA-free, stackable, microwave & dishwasher safe. Perfect for lunches, meal prep & leftovers.

The Rubbermaid story begins in 1920 with the founding of the Wooster Rubber Company in Ohio, a small operation focused on producing toy balloons. However, the Great Depression forced the company to seek new avenues, and in 1933, a fateful encounter with a brightly colored rubber dustpan changed its trajectory.

James Caldwell, a rubber industry veteran, had conceived of this innovative product, recognizing a need for a more efficient and durable cleaning tool. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to merge his fledgling “Rubbermaid” brand with Wooster Rubber, injecting new life into the struggling company.

The pre-war years saw Rubbermaid flourish, expanding its product line to include a range of rubber household items, from dishpans and soap dishes to sink mats and gloves. This success, however, was abruptly halted by World War II, as rubber production was redirected towards military needs.

The post-war era witnessed a remarkable resurgence for Rubbermaid. The company embraced the burgeoning plastics industry, recognizing its potential to revolutionize household goods. This shift proved pivotal, leading to the iconic plastic containers and other durable products that have become synonymous with the brand.

Rubbermaid’s commitment to innovation, coupled with effective marketing strategies, propelled it to become a household name. The company’s products, known for their practicality, durability, and often vibrant colors, have become fixtures in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages across the globe.

While facing challenges and experiencing periods of change, including a shift in ownership and a move of its headquarters, Rubbermaid has maintained its position as a leading manufacturer of household goods. Its legacy lies in its ability to consistently adapt to changing consumer needs and market trends, while remaining true to its core values of quality, innovation, and practicality.
