1935: A group of independent tire retailers in Nebraska invents an improved tire-repair machine, forming the nucleus of O.K. Rubber Welders. The group forges three powerful concepts that eventually become the cornerstone of Big O's philosophy--the product warranty, outdoor merchandising, and the power of exchanging ideas.
World War II: O.K. Rubber Welders boasts 600 dealers nationwide, building on their reputation for honesty, quality, service, and economy.
1953: O.K. Rubber Welders grows to become the largest tread rubber account in the nation, with 1,300+ dealers in the U.S., Canada, South America, Honduras, and Mexico.
