SINCE 1978 |
Our History
In
the late seventies, polyurethane technology was still relatively
new, and just beginning a period of tremendous growth. It was during
this exciting time that Sunray, Inc. was founded.
During the eighties, developments in the field of urethanes produced
wide new varieties of hardness, compounds, and problem solving
abilities. The diversity and durability of this material made it an
industry standard. As a small operation, Sunray was able to cater to
the special needs and desires of its customers, creating custom
products as well as standard wheels made new or recycled. Because
each part was worked by hand, critical quality control took place
every step of the way. Rather than merely producing a quality
product, quality became the product.
As the call and need for polyurethane increased, Sunray became more
diverse. In 1988, having outgrown the facilities in Charlotte,
Sunray and staff relocated to Rutherfordton, North Carolina. Nestled
in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, they steadily gained
momentum for the next six years.
Struck by lightning the night of June 7th, 1994, Sunray's main
production facility burned to the ground. Rather than being a
setback, this was a blessing in disguise. For some time,
consideration had been given to expansion. Due to the premature
destruction of the building, plans were laid to construct a larger
building to accommodate projected growth.
Today, Sunray enjoys considerable success in the polyurethane
industry. Housed in a modern production facility, Sunray maintains
its commitment to old-fashioned quality. Many steps of the
manufacturing process are still carried out by hand. This
painstaking attention to detail assures quality in every part that
is shipped. Sunray's staff prides themselves on being part of a team
with a world-wide reputation for value, quality, and timely
delivery.
