Rubber Bark™ Teams Up With Arizona Distributor

Rubber Bark™ is expanding! Below is a press release about a new partnership with all-around wonderful playground and outdoor furniture installer American Play Systems, located in Tucson, Arizona. 


To Meet Demand Rubber Bark™ Announces New Partnership with American Play Systems

BALLICO, CA (March 16, 2011) — Residents in Tucson and Phoenix can breathe a sigh of fresh spring air when deciding how to landscape this season, with Rubber Bark™, one of the largest tire product manufacturers on the west coast, teaming up with Arizona playground heavyweight American Play Systems, to provide quality ground cover by the discounted truckloads.

The new partnership between American Play Systems and Rubber Bark™ transports rubber mulch into Arizonans’ yards with American Play Systems offering and installing the recycled bark.

“ [It’s a] great product,” said Craig Moore, General Manager of American Play Systems about Rubber Bark™.

Moore believes that the partnership will increase “the opportunity to have the product on hand to provide instant service.” 


And the air will be fresher in Arizona this summer, since according to Ag Link, Inc. using Rubber Bark™ decreases your carbon footprint by 88-94 percent over alternative products and ensures old scrap tires are not land filled or dumped on the side of the roads.

 “We are very excited to be working with American Play Systems,” said CFO of Rubber Bark™ Rob Nairn. “We wanted to expand our distributors to Arizona, and we think we found a great partner with American Play Systems.”

The new partnership not only brings the California rubber mulch to Arizona, it also brings savings for its customers, with American Play Systems offering up to 25 percent off a purchase of the mulch.

Rubber Bark™ is made from 100 percent recycled tires. Recently featured on the PBS educational show Curiosity Quest Goes Green, it is also available online at rubberbark.com. For more information about American Play Systems go to americanplaysystems.com.

And here is a synopsis of American Play Systems: 

American Play Systems has been operating in Tucson for 13 years, previously under the name Tucson Play Systems. The company provides and installs commercial playground systems, residential Rainbow Play Systems, permanent shade and ramada structures and site and park furnishings.
