Impact CBS, Inc. Manufactures All Products By Hand in Beautiful Durango, Colorado
Staying true to their Colorado roots, the company works and plays in Durango, Colorado
Durango, Colorado (Feb 2020): Impact Fenders, a company that has re-invented boat fenders and dock bumpers, is proud to share that all Impact fenders and bumpers are 100% manufactured in Colorado. The company and its shop are located in rural Southwest Colorado, in the beautiful mountain town of Durango.
Durango, Colorado, may be better known for its historic narrow-gauge train and endless mountain bike trails than as a powerhouse in marine manufacturing. But with the Animas River steps away from Impact’s shop, they wouldn’t count on that for long.
“It’s important to us that other small businesses also have the opportunity to thrive. To that end, we purchase our product components from distributors in New Mexico, California, and right around the corner in Durango,” says co-founder Courtney Gates.
The small community of Durango, Colorado dedicates support to small, local businesses. In 2018, Impact participated in a local program, the Southwest Colorado Accelerator Program for Entrepreneurs, to help them get their business “out of the water.” The program offered continuous support, mentoring, and funds to Impact.
In November 2019, Impact received the Early-Stage Capital and Retention Grant from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. The purpose of the Advanced Industry Early Stage Capital and Retention Grant Program is to fund companies using technologies developed in proof of concept grants and other early-stage start-ups that have created viable products, meet a market need, and can be created or manufactured in Colorado and exported globally. Impact has been able to manufacture all products and create jobs in rural Colorado.
