Estes

Estes Industries was founded by Vernon Estes and his wife Gleda Estes in Denver, Colorado, in 1958. Vern Estes designed and built the first machine for mass producing model rocket motors and began selling rocket kits by mail in 1960.

In 1961, the company moved to Penrose, Colorado, and is now known as the "world leader in model rocketry."
