ABOUT DYKEMA RUBBER BANDS As a third generation family owned and operated business, we are thankful to our loyal customers who continue to allow us to pursue the dream our grandfather, TJ Dykema, built many years ago. He initiated our brand of rubber bands known as Bestuvall. This year we celebrate 104 years in business. Through our Bestuvall brand, we continue to sell the highest quality 90% pure rubber bands. In the beginning, TJ focused on two products, rubber and glass. In 1935, he invented and patented the use of a rubber bulb on the tip of a glass tube inserted into the cap of a glass bottle, now known as an eyedropper. The success of this product enabled us to venture into and expand upon the rubber band business. Today, we carry a full line of rubber band products. Our customer base has continued to grow over the years thanks to our internet shoppers as well as our faithful corporate clients. Our warehouse is located just outside of Pittsburgh, with sales offices in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Western NC, and the Tampa Bay area. We are committed to offering quality products and providing the best in customer service and support.
