William Franke, who started in the belting industry in 1954, founded Bi-State Rubber, Inc in 1970. Serving Missouri and central Illinois, the original focus of the company was the sale of industrial rubber products and the servicing of conveyor belt systems. As customers needs changed, so did Bi-State Rubber. To address the growing amount of specialized needs of their customers, Bi-State Rubber began fabricating custom type belting. Due to their level of commitment and quality of service Bi-State Rubbers business grew steadily. Today Bi-State Rubber is still in the Franke family, managed by William Frankes three sons. The fabrication and servicing of conveyor belting, particularly weigh feeder and tumble/blast belts, is still their primary focus, but Bi-State also fabricates various types of expansion joints and other products. With customers world wide, Bi-State Rubbers largest customer base is the power generation, cement, foundry, and die-cast industries. Having many years in the industry, Bi-State Rubbers management draws on experience from all aspects of belting, in the field and in production. Simply putthey KNOW how to serve their customers needs best. Bi-State Rubber, Inc motto declares, not only that their products and services are of the highest quality, but it also suggests that the customers of Bi-State use their belts to move quality products.
