===Swan Rubber Company===
The Swan Rubber Company was once the largest industry in Bucyrus, locally employing 1500 men and women, and having the largest payroll of any industry in Bucyrus. The Swan Rubber and Tire Company originated in Toledo on September 27, 1927. In 1929 the name is changed to Swan Rubber Company as tire production declined. In 1940 the company bought 30 acres along Beal Ave., the current site of the Bucyrus operations, until the facilities closed in the early part of this century. In 1950 the company began recycling and reclaiming rubber products, and by 1993 Swan became the largest recycling site in the state of Ohio. In 2001 Swan became part of the Tekni-Plex family of companies, making them the largest manufacturer of garden hose in the world. The company is currently headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with an office in Marion, Ohio.<ref>{{cite book|first=Daniel|last=Arnold|title=About Bucyrus| pages=70–72}}</ref>
