Rubbermaid is a leader in developing high-quality, innovative storage and organization solutions for the home – helping make everyday life a little easier. Widely recognized and trusted, Rubbermaid designs and manufactures a full line of consumer and products to store goods and keep homes, kitchens, closets, garages and outdoor living spaces clean and organized.
Founded in 1920 as the Wooster Rubber Company, a maker of toy balloons, Rubbermaid was a pioneer in the rubber housewares business with the introduction of the first rubber dustpan in 1934. Throughout the decades that followed, Rubbermaid was a constant innovator in the home goods category and today is present in 90 percent of American homes.
Rubbermaid, including its Graco brand, was acquired by Newell in 1999, combining the companies to become Newell Rubbermaid.
