History
Furniture maker David Chandler opened of Chandler bats in 2010. David started RxSport in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and quickly turned around to get into making Chandler bats in Norristown. In the first year that Chandler bats were available on the public market, they sold 11,000 bats out of a 40,000 sq. ft. warehouse. Chandler has increased production every year since their opening. In 2013, the company received a $500,000 investment from Benjamin Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania for expansion. A large portion of these funds was put towards purchasing more raw materials, maple and ash wood, in an effort to further increase production of bats. Chandler has partnered with EvoShield, a baseball apparel and equipment company, to make a new bat, the EvoShield Swing Series. They are also looking to expand beyond strictly wood bats, and are exploring the idea of creating metal bats.
