Mission Rubber Company LLC

Mission Rubber Company was founded by Ben Bryan Garrett, a plumber who believed no obstacle was insurmountable. During the difficult years of the Great Depression, Ben`s pioneering spirit led him to expand into the underground utilities business, which included the installation of sewer, water and utilities infrastructure. Unfortunately, the bells had a tendency to break during manufacturing. Ben realized he could reduce scrap rates by eliminating the bells, which required a new way to connect the pipes. Working with a local rubber manufacturer, he engineered and designed prototypes of the modern flexible sewer coupling, changing the industry forever.
