Our 
Story

Potomac Rubber is a women-owned, fourth-generation family business that has proudly served our community since opening our doors in 1921. For over a century, we’ve provided high-quality industrial products to businesses throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia, and beyond.

​

What truly sets us apart is our ability to solve problems. Whether it’s a complex application or a hard-to-find product, our experienced and friendly team is committed to finding the right solution. We combine deep industry knowledge with a hands-on approach to ensure every customer receives the guidance, products, and service they can rely on.

​

In 2018, Nicole Ogle Erbe became owner following the passing of her mother, Sharon Ogle. Since then, Nicole has continued to build on the company’s strong foundation—modernizing operations, expanding inventory, and strengthening the relationships that have always been at the heart of Potomac Rubber.

​

Today, we remain dedicated to delivering not just products, but solutions—and to providing every customer with a seamless and positive experience.

“Potomac Rubber has been a part of my family’s legacy long before I stepped into the business. While my background began in veterinary medicine, transitioning into industrial sales felt more natural than I ever expected.
 

What makes this company truly special is our team—experienced, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to helping our customers find the right solutions.
 

Joining Potomac Rubber has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, both professionally and personally. I genuinely enjoy working with our customers, solving problems, and ensuring that every interaction is a positive one.

​

Thank you for your continued support and for being part of our family business."
