Sioux Rubber & Urethane Blog

Over the past 60+ years in business, we have grown and learned a lot. Every employee is an essential member of the Sioux Rubber family, and many have been with us for a decade or more! Today, we’re shining the spotlight on an employee that has had an impressive 16-year (and going!) career: Sales Manager Derek DeGroot.

We know a good thing when we see it. This goes for rubber products, of course, but it also goes for people. Many of our employees have been part of the Sioux Rubber and Urethane team for decades. General Manager Joe Wren has been with us for over thirty years, and his career has developed significantly along the way.

When it comes to production lead times, Sioux Rubber & Urethane is hard to beat. If your timeline is tight, we’re the ones to call. We sat down with Derek DeGroot, Senior Sales Manager, to discuss the Sioux Rubber advantage and how we set ourselves apart from the competition.

If you reach out to us for a quote or information on our products, chances are you’ll be talking with Kelli Midland, our new Sales Manager! Kelli may be in a new role, but she’s not new to Sioux Rubber & Urethane. After starting with the company as an office administrator, she served as Independent Sales Rep Coordinator for several years. Today, as Sales Manager, Kelli is in control of the overall sales process and serves as the face and voice of Sioux Rubber & Urethane for all current and potential customers. Kelli says, “This role is a natural progression. As I’ve moved into different positions within the company, I’ve been able to bring everything I learned and apply it to the new role.”
