About

Ralph and Karen Borden are the owners of Borden Manufacturing Inc. Ralph has been in the wood working industry since 1973. Son Kyle has joined the team in 2010 as manager of production and operations. Through their ownership of a small string of art galleries and actually using stretcher bars themselves, they know what a good stretcher bar should be.

Our many years in business have taught us what the stretcher bar should be and also what the customer wants: Quality, price and service; fast service. We have taken this as our motto and we strive to operate in a manner that is efficient as possible so we can continue to be the leader in the industry.

Environmental Responsibility

Borden Manufacturing Inc purchases its raw material from mills that participate in sustainable forestry and certify their product through the SFI program. Learn more about the Sustainable Forestry Initiative at this website: www.sfiprogram.org.

Every board that is processed through our factory is used in its entirety and ends up going out as a new product. Nothing is wasted. The byproducts generated from the production of stretcher bars are wood shavings and trim ends. Wood shavings are sold to horse ranchers as bedding for the animals. Trim ends are used in commercial energy production and home heating.
