Turning Misfortune into Innovation 

 

Simnor Enterprises Inc. is an innovative company located in the heart of Norfolk County , Ontario, Canada. Located on the north shore of Lake Erie and boasting six arenas and a thriving hockey interest, Norfolk County has given rise to such notable hockey stars as Red Kelly, Chico Maki, Rob Blake, Dwyane Roloson, Nelson Emerson, Rick Walmsley, Jassen Cullimore and Ryan Vandenbussche.

Besides being the birth place of eight hockey legends, Norfolk County is also the birthplace of the most innovative piece of arena related equipment since artificial ice and the ice resurfacer. 

Simnor Enterprises Inc. was incorporated in 2006 by founders Stan Pogorzelski (President) and Todd Knechtel (Vice President). Together they have over 20 years experience in the arena industry. Stan has a broad knowledge of mechanical and architectural design and construction as well as arena and ice resurfacer operations. Todd has in depth knowledge of arena operations and management along with CIT, Pool and Refrigeration certification.

After a blade change injury in 2002 at a local arena, an in depth analysis of the current blade change procedure uncovered that there was a need to greatly improve on the method being used to change blades. The current method presented too many opportunities for injury because the blade in most cases was being handled unprotected. The magnetic edge guard was inconvenient to use and in many cases not used at all. It was also discovered that virtually every arena in North America used a similar method to service their ice resurfacer blades. 

Together Stan and Todd combined their knowledge and experience to come up with "The RAZER". This is a revolutionary device that totally mechanizes the blade changing operation and reduces the risk of injury by utilizing the wooden transportation sheath as the safety guard.  To go an extra step it was decided that simultaneously installing the mounting bolts would even further reduce the risk of injury.

The RAZER is the only device on the market that can reduce the likelihood of blade change related cuts as well as Musculoskeletal Disorders.
