Our Story
When we began manufacturing ribbed rubber type in the
1960s, no one dreamed we would one day become the premier rubber type
supplier in the United States, but fast forward 40-odd years and
millions of pieces of type and that is exactly where we are. It's been
an exciting and sometimes dizzying evolution that has seen us become
the provider of precision ribbed rubber type to over 40 countries
worldwide.
In the 1960s, Indiana Stamp began to manufacture ribbed rubber type
in-house after finding that service from other manufacturers was slow
and prices were high. As we perfected our processes and began receiving
positive customer feedback, we recognized an opportunity for a supplier
with fast service, high quality, and reasonable prices. To ensure our
manufacturing process would yield only the best products, ISC invested
in state-of-the-art equipment and the highest quality molds and it
became standard procedure to check each and every order for precise
alignment and thickness. In 1988, active marketing for the RIBtype
product line began and in 1989, United RIBtype began operating as its
own company.
Customer response was fantastic. RIBtype quickly became known for it's
unparalleled quality, service, and precision thickness and alignment.
Competitive companies could not match the quality and our share of the
market quickly grew. United RIBtype is now the largest manufacturer of
ribbed rubber type in the United States. All RIBtype products are
proudly made in the USA at our facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We
continue to focus on offering fast, expert service and precision quality
products at competitive prices.
