HISTORY

 
History:The business was started in 1969 by Bob and Marian Finlay in the basement of their home. Being Archers the first products developedwere sights and other accessories for the archery trade.  In 1973 the business purchased one acre of land and constructed an 1800 sq. ft. building.  It purchased its first injection molding machine in 1974 and made parts that were sold internationally. The business was incorporated in 1977 and in 1978 the building was expanded by another 1200 sq. ft.  Also in 1978 BPE started doing custom molding for other companies including many of its competitors in the archery trade. By 1983 the business again outgrown its building and was able to purchase an additional 5 acres of land and expand the facility to its present size of 13,000 sq. ft. As the company grew so did the amount of equipment and employees.

Today BPE makes a wide variety of custom and captive injection molded parts from mostly engineering plastics including Nylon filled and natural, ABS, TPR, Ryton PPS, Acrylic, K-Resin, and Acetal to name a few.  At the present time BPE has more than 410 active molds in its fire resistant vault.  BPE only makes parts from tooling that was made in its shop and does not build tooling that will be run at other locations, thereby being able to control the quality of care required to run and maintain that tooling.  A great variety of parts are made here from archery to the automotive and printing industries to food handling products and a lot in between including a machine called the JERKY SHOOTER which was separated from BPE in 1998 and made into its own company.
