In the mid-2000s, Matt Doring, Kevin Bilben and I were installing spray foam insulation in the suburbs of Minneapolis. Spray foam was just catching on in Minnesota, and the more we sprayed, the more sure we were: this was the future of insulation.
There was one problem. Nobody made professional tools for spray foam. Not one.
So we decided to build them ourselves. After all, who knows what a foamer needs better than the people on the gun every day?
We spent years sketching, building homemade prototypes and testing them on real jobs. We handed them to spray foam crews in other regions too, and they told us exactly what worked and what didn't. Their feedback is built into every Piranha tool you can buy today.
In early 2022 we released our second production run, with new features and tougher builds than anything we'd made before.
To everyone who tested a prototype, sent us feedback or put a Piranha on their belt: thank you. We wouldn't be here without you, and we're proud to keep building the tools you deserve.
