History
In 1972, founder of Lifetime Product, Barry Mower, began to make a stronger basketball for his backyard. He bought a small pipe used for heavy duty, a piece of plywood, and a basketball rim, and built his own basketball standard. Seeing the potential in what he has built, he advertises in the local classifieds and makes his first sale.
His yard business eventually became a simple sporting goods store, and in March 1986, became Lifetime Products, a name inspired by the goal of building long-lasting and durable products. Shortly thereafter, the research and design staff created and patented the "Quick Adjustment" basketball system, the first easy adjustable home basketball system using a broomstick handle to raise and lower the rim from 7.5 to 10 feet. The concept of an adjustable basketball system is changing the market, making the unadjusted system obsolete in the wholesale chain.
Lifetime Products is the first company to provide a complete basketball system in one package, enabling retailers to easily store, display and sell basketball equipment. The complete package concept now dominates the market. After growing rapidly in the first year, Lifetime began to focus on producing more durable basketball rims, and consequently developed a loop that lasted twice that of the nearest competitor's rim.
In the first three years, the company grew to 167 employees and occupied 120,000 square feet (11,000 m 2 ) from manufacturing, office and warehouse space. New equipment, including electrostatic powder coating operations and robotic circular welding systems, are fitted to meet demand. The metal fabrication department is also set up to continually update and increase pressure and die.
Utilizing its expertise in plastics and metals, Lifetime then created the first folding picnic table set up in 1995, the first blow-molded banquet table in 1998, and a steel-reinforced retaining building that was reinforced in 2005. They continue to develop portable ball systems baskets, altitude adjustments, tables, chairs, outdoor storage, and garden and garden equipment, such as wheelbarrows, carts, and rotary compost bins.
In May 2010, Lifetime acquired the Dragonfly Innovation Corp. assets. , manufacturers of inflatable kayaks, and kayak production were transferred to the Lifetime facility in Utah. Kayaks of a lifetime are popular among beginners and regular users, and are designed to prevent flipping. In November 2011, Lifetime acquired Pennsylvania-based Emotion Kayaks , making Lifetime one of the largest kayak producers in the world.
Lifetime products are still led by the original founders.
