Our founder, Ben, made a lot of paper planes as a kid. A lot. He became fascinated with how seemingly identical planes could perform so differently. One would spin out of control while another would trace a smooth arc over next door's fence into their fish pond. The planes were the same, but they weren't. Why? What was going on?
This inexplicable (then!) variation was the beginning of Ben's fascination with manufacturing. The quest for each paper plane to be the same and for it to be excellent.
