‘Really big circle’: Bozeman dog toy company Westpaw profiting from focus on local, sustainability
Inside of the West Paw factory off Frontage Road in Bozeman, CEO and founder Spencer Williams greets each employee by name as he walks by.
Williams points out each machine in the factory and offers insight into the manufacturing processes. One such device is an employee-directed injection-molding machine that was forming the “Toppl” toy — a round, multi-use enrichment toy for dogs.
“The really neat thing about the injection-molding toy line is that it has become the biggest part of our business over the years,” Williams said. “It’s allowed us to grow in ways we couldn’t have imagined back in those early days. But it also has a tremendous ability to have automation added to the process.
