Website: www.rubberband.com Email: sales@alliance-rubber.com Phone: 800.626.5940 | Celebrating Over 100 Years of ManufacturingOn March 7, 2023, Alliance Rubber Company celebrated its centennial year, an amazing accomplishment considering that less than 1% of U.S. businesses have achieved this remarkable milestone. We join the tasty company of Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s, and Kraft Foods, the tipsy company of Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, and Yuengling, and the work ethic of Carhartt, L.L. Bean, and John Deere.So how does an establishment providing a simple little device like a rubber band make it to such a monumental milestone? The answer is simple – Elasticity. Just like our products, throughout the last century, we have doggedly stretched and flexed to meet the needs of our markets – determined to always be in touch with the needs of our customers.Pleased to serve customers in more than 61 countries, in 2021 for the second time we won our Governor’s Award for Excellence in Global Trade. To our USA customers, we are here to assure you receive the ultimate timely experience in delivery and customer satisfaction.We have survived and thrived in economic conditions that have eliminated so many manufacturers. At the same time, we continue to stretch our markets with new and innovative products. For example, our site www.arcosilicone.com offers silicone bands, that are autoclavable, will withstand sunlight, and provide the ideal solution for durability and reuse.The need for an organizational product was something our Dad, William Spencer, understood and it fueled his vision for founding Alliance Rubber in 1923 in Alliance, OH.REUSABLE SOLUTIONSThe majority of our bands are reusable and ready for any number of handy bundling uses around your home, office, or workplace. With the rising trend of reusable packaging, manufacturers are reimagining how they package their products by eliminating single-use plastics in their packaging. Discarded plastics generate 6.3 billion tons of waste annually. 24 billion pounds of plastic enter our oceans annually…….and only 9% of plastic is recycled.Do you put your plastics and paper in the recycling bin? Do you think twice about reusing that plastic container your frozen mac and cheese came in? Good for you! Did you know that while the U.S. holds only 4.7% of the world’s population, it produces 12% of the planet’s municipal solid waste? That’s over 1,700 pounds annually for each and every American … ten times the weight of an average person!And while the majority of our 2,400 banding products are readily reusable, our manufacturing processes keep these concerns at the forefront. Natural rubber bands are made from rapidly-renewable resources that don’t damage those resources for use by future generations. As for packaging, our boxes are made from 100% recycled materials.So, the next time you have a choice between a poly-wrapped product and a banded one, think twice about those full landfills. And the next time you are seeking that perfect device to hold your bundle together, give us a call. I bet we have that perfect solution for you. So, while we continue to innovate and create even better ways to hold your world together, we celebrate our milestone of being in business over 100 years. From our 155+ strong team who enjoy a set of common values, we stretch out our arms with sincerest thanks for your continued support.
