Reid Hatley Industries LLC, a growing Hayden-based maker of custom golf signage and accessories doing business as RHI Golf, says it has expanded its product lines and increased its in-house manufacturing.
RHI’s newest offerings include large golf-supply containers and custom golf trophies, says Reid Hatley, the company’s CEO and president. The company also has set up its own powder-coating facility to reduce lead time and save costs, he says.
Hatley, a Spokane native and Ferris High School graduate, started RHI in 2009, focusing on customizable golf products ranging from tee markers to driving range markers and bag stands.
“We let customers develop our lines from there,” he says. “When someone said, ‘Can you do garbage cans?’ we started doing those. Now we do a lot of fixtures around clubs, including water-cooler stations and scoreboards.”
Today the company manufactures more than 800 products for more than 700 golf courses, Hatley claims.
“A golf pro will pitch a new idea for us. We will build it, and then all the other courses want it,” he says. “We quickly adapt to our customers’ demands and build what they desire with their logo and input into the design.”
RHI occupies a 7,000-square-foot manufacturing building, at 11888 N. Tracey Road, in the Warren K. Industrial Park. The company has 11 employees and expects to hire additional employees in the spring, Hatley says. He claims RHI’s average annual revenue growth has exceeded 75 percent since it opened.
Now 33, Hatley was a standout golf athlete for the University of Arizona, and active on the PGA Pro-Am circuit.
