Sunray’s staff prides themselves on being part of a team with a world-wide reputation for value, quality, and timely delivery.

 

 

The History of Sunray, Inc.

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 new and refurbished polyurethane wheels. 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.

plantStruck 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 as one of the top producers of quality polyurethane parts and urethane products, such as: drive wheels, idler wheels, drive rollers, idler rollers and dunnage parts. There are hundreds of products available, and Sunray can produce an unlimited variety of custom polyurethane/urethane products.

I must say your company did a fantastic job on my rollers. I’m very happy with them. I would like to express my heartfelt Thanks to you and your company. It’s nice to know that a company in this fast paced economy has time to accommodate the small customers as well as the large clients. This is truly refreshing to see in America.
