Red Fox Innovations

What Red Fox Innovations does

Red Fox Innovations is a US contract cut-and-sew manufacturer headquartered in Blaine, Minnesota, operating a single on-site FDA Registered and ISO 13485 Certified facility with more than 160 direct W-2 employees producing over 1,000,000 units annually across 1,000+ unique products. Its core manufacturing offering centers on industrial sewing using twelve Mitsubishi PLK-G10050 large-format programmable machines (1,000mm x 500mm pattern size, programmable sewing reducing labor times by 25–50%), automated multi-ply fabric cutting up to 30+ layers across a 72" cutting bed, and a full fabric welding stack including 48"x48" 20kW RF welding, ultrasonic welding, and hot air welding and seam taping. Adjacent capabilities include 150W laser cutting for metals, plastics, and specialty textiles, die cutting, auto strip cutting, electronics assembly and Class I/II medical device contract packaging, brand embellishments, hardware installation, materials sourcing across textiles, foams, hardware, and narrow roll goods, and end-to-end product design and development services. Customers span medical device companies, specialty and outdoor retailers requiring US manufacturing, US military and government customers requiring Berry Amendment compliance, and firms needing standalone contract cutting, welding, or product development work. The proprietary factory management software delivers real-time productivity and hourly quality inspection metrics at each workstation for continuous improvement.

The company follows a direct B2B sales-led go-to-market motion with no channel partners or resellers; customer inquiries are captured through the website contact form and qualified via tech pack review and first article prototypes, with 2–3 month typical production ramps and multi-year blanket-order commitments. Pricing is custom per-unit, built from a costed bill of materials plus labor cycle times gathered on initial first articles, with no formal minimum order quantities but a requirement for consistent long-term volumes; development charges may apply for new products requiring prototyping or tech pack creation. The company merged with Caerus Corp, a medical-device holding company whose brands include Animal Ortho Care, OrthoCor Medical, and New Options Sports, in 2022, and now operates as a subsidiary under that parent with founder Jon Boor Boor serving as both President of Red Fox and Chief Operating Officer of Caerus Corp.
