Polyshot Corporation Inc. was founded in 1989 by Mr. Doug Hepler. In the fall of that same year, Mr. Hepler and Polyshot's first employee, Mr. Louis Borrelli, started working in a rented 250 sq. ft. office with two folding tables, two telephones and a list of potential customers Mr. Borrelli gathered from telephone books at the local library.
At the time, Polyshot only manufactured heated sprue bushings, and it was soon evident that expansion into manifold systems was the next step. Polyshot created its first manifolds for their electrical connector industry customers, which were previous Polyshot heated sprue bushing customers.
After growing out of 2 more rented facilities, Polyshot purchased land and build its first dedicated hot runner facility in 2001. This facility was 12,500 sq. ft. and sat on a 4 acre campus. In the winter of 2008, Polyshot embarked on a major expansion increasing its size to 28,500 sq. ft. and renovating its existing facility. The expansion now houses Polyshot's CNC machining facility and its employee/customer lounge.
Another great opportunity for growth came in 2019 when Redbarn Pet Products, a manufacturer of healthy dog and cat food, treats, and chews, acquired Polyshot. As a family owned private company, Redbarn proudly boasts over 500 employees. Polyshot will continue to run as a separate business under the leadership of Lou Borrelli, who now serves as the company’s General Manager.
Polyshot continues to manufacture Melt Delivery Systems in West Henrietta, New York. Polyshot is focused on continued growth with our molding partners worldwide. Contact us for more information about our capabilities. For more information about Redbarn visit www.redbarn.com
