Accelerator industries was founded in 1995 by owners Peter and Kristy Andonian. At the time, Peter and Kristy also owned Yardmaster Inc., a landscape maintenance business in the Pacific Northwest. The wet climate, in combination with the constant clogging issues that Yardmaster employees faced, caused Peter to begin thinking about building a catcher to work in all conditions. Drawing on a background in physics, an innovative mind, and his drive to succeed, in combination with the support of his wife and business partner- Peter went to the garage and started building. Accelerator was born.
