Our Story

In 1969, a young designer and entrepreneur named Ellis Shamoon had a new product idea.  His concept was to take an ordinary cutting board and give it a special artistic flair so that it could be left out on the kitchen counter as a piece of functional art. Department stores liked the idea of specialty cutting boards so much that Dexas was born.

 Leading The Way, Made in USA

 Today, Dexas has become a multi-faceted, international consumer products company. Yet the company is steadfast and committed to manufacturing in the USA.  Dexas is the largest single producer of poly cutting boards in the country, delivering millions of units to leading retailers annually. Throughout our nearly 50-year history, we have never wavered in our commitment to manufacturing in the USA while providing good jobs to our neighbors and service to our community.

Pets Are People Too

 There’s a huge majority of people who choose to enhance and enrich their lives as pet parents.  And pets depend on their parents for proper hydration, healthy eating and snacking as well as regular exercise and grooming. Dexas created the original Popware for Pets line to make it easy to accomplish all this, both at home and on the go. Innovations like the Snack-DuO and the MudBuster have simplified the process of taking a dog with you, wherever the adventure may lead. It was once said that if you give a pet your love, it will be returned many times over, often times when you need it the most.  It’s true!
