Recycled Surfaces Pioneer Art Dodge III Marks 30 Years with Ecore

Lancaster, Pa. -- Thirty years ago, Arthur Dodge III became intrigued with a little piece of recycled, re-bonded rubber his father had created in his company’s lab. Dodge had no idea then that his perseverance and pioneering vision would create an entirely new market of innovative composition surfaces.

“After studying overseas, I came back to the U.S. with the idea that I was going to get into a completely different line of work, not join the family business,” Dodge said. “But when father showed me a piece of recycled rubber and challenged me to find an opportunity for this unique product, I accepted the challenge, and I haven’t looked back.”
