History

Founded in Acushnet, Massachusetts by Phillip E. \"Skipper\" Young in 1910, the Acushnet Process Company focused on deresinating and supplying rubber to industries which required it, and over time began to make their own rubber-based products including water bottles and bathing caps.

In 1932 the company sectioned into two divisions: Rubber and Golf, both of which became quite successful. The Rubber division was later sold in 1985.

In 1935, the Golf division produced the Titleist golf ball, which has continued to be its most successful product.

In 1976 the company was purchased by American Brands (now Fortune Brands).

Circa 2005 the company is headquartered in Fairhaven, Massachusetts.
