About Us
With a vision to preserve a small rural
community
by
providing
employment opportunities in north central
Kansas, a group
of businessmen organized a small manufacturing company called Osborne
Industries, Inc. in 1973. Osborne Industries was started in a 4-H
building on the county fairgrounds by hand laying-up one product,
the Stanfield® heat pad. The Stanfield heat pad is still marketed
and sold as part of our proprietary line of livestock management equipment.
By 1976, Osborne Industries developed a closed molding process, later
known as Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), and launched the development
of a new low-cost method of Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) in 1993.
Since our meager beginning in 1973, Osborne Industries has grown to
occupy 242,000 sq-ft of manufacturing, warehouse, and office space
on 10.5 acres in Osborne, Kansas. Our products can be found in more
than 30 different countries, and we have offices in the United Kingdom
and China to provide warehousing and product support to our worldwide
customers.
The diverse operations of Osborne Industries and the rural quality
of life enable our company to attract, challenge, and retain an excellent
and highly-motivated workforce. Our associates work together
as a team with pride in workmanship and with experience in production,
administration, engineering, and marketing.
To ensure that Osborne Industries continues to provide employment
opportunities for the community, as was the vision in 1973, the company
became employee owned in 2001. Through the Employee Stock Ownership
Program (ESOP), all employee owners are empowered to think, act, and
work like owners, because we are owners. This ownership mentality
means that each of us has a personal ownership in the success of your
project.
We understand your product development and engineering tasks, because
we make and market our own proprietary agricultural lines which are
recognized throughout the world for their innovative design and for
creative use of structural engineered plastics for very demanding
applications. We look forward to welcoming you and your company to
join the growing group of industry leaders that we are proud to serve!
