Garland Mfg Co
"Garland Manufacturing Company was founded in 1866, by James G. Garland, and incorporated seven years later, in 1873. It was originally called the Loom Picker Company, after its primary product, pickers for the textile industry. Pickers, made from water buffalo hide due to the toughness of the material, were used to weave cloth by moving the shuttle from one side of the loom to the other. In 1899, the company began manufacturing rawhide mallets from water buffalo hide and is today the world's premier producer of mallets and soft-faced hammers.
Garland Manufacturing has seen tremendous changes in the plastics industry and has diversified their approach to the marketplace. The textile industry's change to a shuttle-less loom has resulted in Garland moving away from their original product base. Presently, the company extrudes Gar-Dur Plastic UHMWP in nine different colors and now sells into a countless number of industries and markets worldwide. In 2000, Garland Manufacturing obtained ISO 9002 Certification.
Garland Manufacturing continues to manufacture mallets and soft-faced hammers for all industries worldwide and is the only producer of rawhide mallets in North America. The Garland tradition continues with the Garland family's sixth generation of consecutive management since its beginnings in 1866.
