[Elmira, NY – 7/13/2023] – Evolution Edges is thrilled to unveil its latest innovation, the Sabre Stealth VST Blade, an innovative solution designed to revolutionize plowing operations. Built to tackle any challenge that comes its way, this new product promises exceptional performance and durability.

At the heart of the Sabre Stealth VST Blade lies the ultra-tough Sabre Heavy-Duty Armored Carbide Blade. Rigorously tested and proven to withstand even the most demanding plowing scenarios, it ensures reliability and longevity, no matter the conditions. With the Stealth VST Blade, plow operators can confidently face any winter challenge.

To ensure exceptional performance in harsh conditions, the Sabre_HD blade is encased in a high-quality rubber compound meticulously engineered for colder temperatures. This intelligent design allows for seamless operation during municipal plowing, where the demands are often rigorous and unforgiving.

One of the key innovations of the Sabre Stealth Blade is its patented bolt hole system. This feature incorporates a built-in clamp bar and cleverly designed bushings, eliminating the need for extra parts during installation. This not only simplifies the setup process but also allows the blade to maintain its flexibility and effectively absorb vibrations while in use. Additionally, the blade is equipped with built-in wear indicators, which assist operators in accurately timing blade changes. These enhancements further enhance efficiency and aid in maintenance planning.

"We are proud to introduce the Sabre Stealth VST Blade, a game-changer in the plowing industry," said Marc Stemerman, President of Chemung Supply Corporation, speaking on behalf of its division Evolution Edges.

Universal Truck Equipment, formally known as Universal Highway Products, started building snowplows in a small shop located in Trempealeau, WI over 40 years ago. In 1994, Gene Dubiel & Dough Erickson purchased the business and renamed it Universal Truck Equipment, Inc. In 1997, Donnie Bjorge bought into the company. A new facility was constructed in 1998 between Centerville & Galesville, WI. Since then, we have been slowly growing & expanding. In 2004, Rich Kiekhoefer became an owner, and an additional office & showroom was added. In 2017, Donnie & Rich bought out Gene. Both owners are very active in the business as Donnie is the sales & office manager and Rich manages the shop and oversees all maintenance and site upkeep.

Universal has been manufacturing “Universal” snowplows & wings for 40+ years. They also started making their own underbody scrapers in 2009 and tailgate sanders in 2020. Universal's main goals are quality and customer satisfaction. From start to finish, their employees take pride in what they do, with workmanship that is second to none!

Universal Truck Equipment has been a proud partner with Evolution Edges since 2020.

As a result of Chemung Supply Corporation acquiring Built Blades, Evolution Edges (a Division of Chemung Supply) has carried over two Built Blades employees to its company.

Matt Aquino, founder of Built Blades and inventor of the Sabre® armored carbide snowplow blade, joins us with over 10 years of industry experience. In 2018, his Built Blades Sabre® blade was awarded both a fully issued Utility Patent and Registered Trademark.

Bruce Nichols has also joined Evolution Edges as Territory Manager, with over 40 years of extensive snow plowing experience. For 30 of those years Bruce worked at the state-level within the industry. In addition to being well-versed in plow blades and general snow & ice knowledge, he also specializes in safety education and salt brine technologies.

We are honored to have them as part of our company!

In the 1990s, the introduction of a carbide insert blade for snowplow cutting edges was recognized as a major technological advancement for the wear parts industry. Carbide demonstrated the wear longevity to be seven times greater than a traditional hardened steel snowplow blade.

While carbide represented a significant advancement, there remained the need to use a traditional cover blade to protect the car-bide inserts that would experience an initial, significant and direct impact. While the carbide longevity was an improvement, requiring two blades represented safety challenges for the installation by workers and additional stress on the truck assembly and plow frame.

Fast-forward to November 2020 when Evolution Edges announced a revolutionary one-of-a-kind solution to eliminate the traditional full-size steel cover blade, and did this by acquiring the patented Sabre® Blade System created by Built Blades LLC of Fairport, N.Y. For the first time in 30 years, the Sabre® design has created significant advancements for customers looking to improve carbide cutting edge performance. Below are Sabre’s safety, economic and functional advantages:

• Offered on national cooperative agreements, such as NASPO and Sourcewell.
• First manufacturer ever to use Hardox® steel in the cutting edge industry.
• Hardox is two times more abrasion-resistant and three times more impact-resistant.
• A Sabre blade is 40% lighter per foot to reduce work-related injuries.
• Utilizes a 18% thinner blade surface contact, resulting in better scraping.
• Wear indicators every inch across the blade allow for rapid visual assessment.
• Multiple state departments of transportation evaluations demonstrate a three times greater longevity versus carbide.

Evolution Edges, located in Elmira, N.Y., opened its doors in 2009 as a division of Chemung Supply Corporation — a municipal distribution supplier that has been in operation for 90 years now. Chemung Supply President Marc Stemerman created the snowplow wear parts manufacturing division in response to following industry needs:

• To simplify and streamline the snowplow wear parts ordering process.
• To ensure high-quality products be delivered with rapid response.
• To be the authority of quality and innovative snowplow cutting edges.
• Evolution Edges has six patents pending or in existence, and along with Built Blades, both companies represent many rapid, new innovations via shared patents.

“We are confident that adding Built Blades to our portfolio will be a mutually beneficial acquisition for both companies’ customer base. Adding Built Blades products to the products offered by Evolution Edges will create a much broader product offering and the means to serve our municipal customers more effectively now and moving for-ward,” stated Stemerman.

Built Blades created the Sabre® armored carbide snowplow blade in 2016, and it has been awarded both a fully issued utility patent and a registered trademark. It is currently being used in 29 snow states across the USA, which demonstrates its worthiness in diverse climates for snowplow applications.

“Delivery of an affordable, innovative and quality snowplow wear parts portfolio in a rapid and efficient manner to the customer is our goal. The acquisition of Built Blades demonstrates our ongoing focus to improve snowplow cutting edge technology,” said Stemerman.

Wright Trailers has been selling and manufacturing equipment trailers in Southeastern Massachusetts since 1984. A third generation company started by the owner Dan Wright, after his retirement Dan's son Steven took over the company's day-to-day operations. Wright Trailers specializes in building trailers to a higher standard than the industry. These are trailers made to work and be worked, unlike the cookie-cutter mass produced models sold by their competitors. Wright Trailers also build one-off custom trailers to fit any need including platforms for the popular Tiny Homes, and also trailers to move portable restrooms.

During the winter months when the trailer industry is slow, Wright Trailers sells and services snow and ice control equipment. They are a factory-direct dealer for both BOSS Snowplows and Fisher Snowplows and carry Evolution Edges snow plow wear parts.

"With great pricing, reasonable turn around times, and customer service that is second-to-none, Evolution Edges has made us both very competitive and profitable," said Adam Caron of Wrights Trailers. "We followed salesman Calvin Garner to Evolution Edges after his departure from one of their competitors and haven't looked back. We look forward to doing business with Evolution Edges for many years to come."

• Frequently inspect to see that cutting edges are aligned properly to avoid uneven wear and poor scraping performance.
  
  
• To protect the structural integrity of your plow, make sure the plow frame isn't exposed and there is no rubbing on the moldboard.
   
  
• Check plow shoes and replace when worn at or below 1/4-inch thick.
  
  
• Don't forget to inspect bolts for any that may be missing, loose or corroded. After the first 10 hours of operation, all nuts should be checked with a torque wrench to maintain proper specification.
