History
Established in 1983.
In 1983, my mother purchased an existing business called Reseda Rubber Stamp in Reseda, California. Her motivation for purchasing the business was to provide for her family since she was widowed a few years earlier. At the beginning, I had very little interest in learning how to make rubber stamps but learned nevertheless.
In 1992, we were struck with the Northridge Earthquake. It stopped business until all businesses in the immediate and surrounding areas could rebuild their facilities and clean up the mess. Luckily, we had been doing business with UCLA for a number of years and could rely on some income from that until the remainder of our client base could get back on track.
In 1999, we moved to Canoga Park. It wasn't until 2008 that I started West Valley Rubber Stamp. My mother retired that year and closed her business. I am carrying on the business that I love and share the work with the love of my life, Brannon.
We hope 2012 and beyond brings new and exciting products.
Meet the Business Owner: Margaret R.
I started making rubber stamps when I was 16. Through the years and with the help of many individuals in the industry, we were able to learn the trade very quickly and build the business.
In the early days, I was involved in the industry club scene which existed of many Rubber Stamp Manufacturers (RSM's) like myself throughout California. I was the prestigious Secretary/Treasurer of the Southern California Marking Club. It doesn't exist anymore but there is an international group called the International Marking Industry Association (IMIA).
In my 20's, I went back to school to learn business management, sales & marketing and helped to make the business more technologically current.
Since then, we have enjoyed steady growth. In 2008, I started on my own and have been striving to develop other product lines and services.
