| 2


In the heart of Bridgeville, PA, stands a testament to American craftsmanship and innovation in the firearms industry – E.R. Shaw. With a storied history dating back to 1913, E.R. Shaw has carved a niche for itself as a premier manufacturer of gun barrels and a trusted supplier for gun collectors and enthusiasts alike.

History

E.R. Shaw’s inception in the early 20th century marked the beginning of a legacy built on precision and quality. Since the 1970s, the Shaw family has been at the helm, steering the company through the evolving landscape of the firearms industry. Today, E.R. Shaw is renowned for its wide range of gun barrels, from hunting rifles to competition pistols, embodying the spirit of innovation and excellence that has been the company’s hallmark for over a century.

E.R. Shaw’s dedication to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction makes it a standout in the firearms industry. The company’s rich history, coupled with its forward-looking approach to product development and packaging, ensures that gun collectors and enthusiasts receive nothing but the best. Their partnership with Tom Brown, Inc. further reinforces this commitment, providing a seamless experience from production to delivery.

Flagship Products

E.R. Shaw’s product lineup is a reflection of its commitment to quality. The company’s flagship firearms and accessories are not only sought after for their superior performance but also for the care and precision that go into their packaging. A recent collaboration with Tom Brown, Inc. has elevated this aspect by introducing foam packaging precisely cut using waterjet technology. This setup not only enhances product safety but also streamlines the packaging and shipping process, making E.R. Shaw a top choice for gun collectors.

The Impact of Innovative Packaging

The collaboration with Tom Brown, Inc. is a prime example of how innovative packaging solutions can transform business operations. The waterjet-cut foam squares, designed with a 15 x 15 grid of circular cutouts, provide an efficient and secure way to house 225 barrels. This not only saves money on shipping materials but also leverages the excess cylindrical foam cutouts as packing peanuts, further showcasing E.R. Shaw’s commitment to efficiency and sustainability.
