About 3X Springs

Crafting Excellence in Manufacturing Solutions

Our Story

Nearly 30 years ago, Shon Harker graduated from the University of Washington with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and began a journey of product innovation and development. In the late 1990s, Harker invented a new type of elastic band called the “safety sleeve elastic.” This new type of band features a fabric sleeve around it that greatly enhances its durability and safety.

The safety sleeve elastic was a breakthrough in multiple industries. For the last 15 years, Harker has built 3X Springs as a business dedicated to providing quality products in elastics for the manufacturing and industrial workspace. 3X Springs delivers on the promise of providing elastics with an exponentially greater stretch capacity alongside enhanced durability and long-term protection from damage and wear.

3X Springs is dedicated to making and distributing the highest-quality elastic products for your business.

3X Springs prides itself on being the master of its own innovation process. We conceptualize, engineer, make, and distribute all of our products right here in the U.S.A. from our spacious facility in Clearfield, Utah.

"The best in the business."
