Timeline

1993– Argonics is founded after the purchase of the industrial division of Kryptonics. This buyout includes some molds, machinery and general information, but the main purpose for the acquisition is the proprietary formulas for polyurethane. As customers of Kryptonics products, the owners of Argonics have first-hand experience with the high quality and extreme wear-resistant qualities of the unique urethane formula when compared to all other polyurethanes. On December 29, 1993, Argonics dispenses the first urethane from its new machine.

1995– Argonics begins working with Original Equipment Manufacturers, working closely with their engineers to develop improvements to their products.

1996– Argonics starts the development of its line of replacement blades for other manufacturers' conveyor belt cleaning systems.

1997– Argonics begins selling its own conveyor belt cleaning system called the Eraser. Named because of the way it erases dirt from a conveyor belt, it begins the start of Argonics' conveyor product line.

1999– Argonics is honored to be a recipient of the Michigan Small Businesses of the Year award.

2004– Argonics receives the Award of Excellence, Operation Action U.P.
