History 
The Company’s founder Russ Rutledge is one of the original pioneers in fiberglass suckerod technology. Mr. Rutledge spearheaded the first long-term success of this technology in 1978 with the founding Fiberflex, Inc. Fiberflex experienced significant success and an unfriendly stockholder takeover was implemented in 1983, which resulted in Mr. Rutledge being bought out. He then founded Fiberglass Technologies, Inc. in 1985. This company began by refurbishing and selling existing fiberglass rods, which were refitted with a newly developed, patented end fitting. Fiberglass Technologies, Inc. acquired Fiberflex, Inc. in 2003 and formed the company known as FIBEROD. FIBEROD was a very successful manufacturer and seller of fiberglass suckerods for eight years utilizing the innovative end fitting design developed by Mr. Rutledge at Fiberglass Technologies, Inc. FIBEROD was sold in May of 2008 to the Smith Group, an international company and was then acquired by Endurance Production Solutions, Inc. in 2016.

 

Because of the demand from former customers and the long-term relationships developed from over 30 years of innovation in the industry, Mr. Rutledge began developing and testing a new, cutting-edge end fitting design in late 2010. With the successful development of the new end fitting design, Mr. Rutledge formed R2 R and D, LLC. in 2011, with the first rods being produced in the new Big Spring facility later that year. R2 R and D, LLC chose to brand the new rod ”SUPEROD®” because its quality, strength, and durability far exceeded any other rod in the market. SUPEROD® is the most technologically advanced fiberglass suckerod on the planet and is supported by the most experienced team in the industry. SUPEROD® is committed to building the finest product possible while offering the best service in the industry.
