HISTORY

Over 65 years

Our company has a long history of service to dental and medical specialists around the world. Founded in 1957 by William Gray Boyd in St. Petersburg, Florida, Boyd began operations as a custom residential furniture company. At that time, we manufactured a contoured “lounge” style chair whose shape inspired our logo.

Mr. Boyd had many customers, both dentists and doctors, who desired equipment that would enable them to practice from a seated position. Challenged with this task, Mr. Boyd was one of the pioneers of “sit-down” dentistry. Once the concept became the preferred technique, Boyd Industries elected to further refine and specialize our products to cater to orthodontists, oral surgeons, pediatric dentists, endodontists and select medical specialists.

Over the years, we remained focused on the personalized needs of our customers. Just as our customers have received specialized training, Boyd designs and manufactures equipment to meet the specific rigors of a busy specialty practice.

SUSTAINABILITY

Recycling

Boyd Industries prioritizes recycling when and where we can. Metals, plastics, cardboard, foam, and other necessary wastes from the manufacturing process are collected and recycled regularly. This means a longer lifecycle for these materials as they are incorporated into other products. In 2021, for example, the Boyd team recycled 43,769 lbs. of Kydex plastic and 15,580 lbs. of cardboard. Our recycling efforts have been recognized from 2015-2021 with Environmental Excellence Awards from Laird Plastics, a leader in recycling and environmental consulting.

Additionally, digital resources are provided on this website as an alternative to printed documents. If you do have a paper catalog, manual, or other document, we thank you for recycling these resources when they are no longer of use!
