Company History

Elvah Bulman created his first product in 1905, a twine holder and dispenser. Over the proceeding decades, Elvah's brainchild product evolved into a wide assortment of dispensers and cutters for virtually all types of rolled material. It wasn't long before Elvah, later joined by his son Orville, found themselves with a small but thriving company focused on quality workmanship, creativity and service.

Today, you'll find Bulman products in schools, warehouses, restaurants, and gift-wrap centers across North America. Those same attributes of quality workmanship, creativity and service continue to guide us and have contributed to our status as the leading manufacturer in our field.

Yes, much has changed since the early days of Elvah Bulman but some things will always remain the same.  Bulman cutters continue to be made from the same durable materials used by Bulman almost 100 years ago. Over the years you've told us of your need for other useful and timeless products such as packing and shipping stations. We've responded with several new versions of packing tables, affordable additions to your packing, wrapping and shipping needs.

Bulman's staff members will likely have the answers to all your questions. Most of us are long-time employees who, like you, are proud of the way our products are made. Their durability means you'll likely use them for life.

If you're new to Bulman, welcome. Oh, and by the way, Elvah's twine holder and dispenser are still available.
