Background and mission
Escanaba Polo Mallet Company began as an experimental “learning lab” startup exploring whether a low-capital, export-oriented manufacturing business could be built in Michigan’s Delta County. The company positions itself as a model for small-scale rural entrepreneurship, documenting its journey and sharing business lessons through its website and social channels.
Its mission explicitly goes beyond profit: EPMC channels a substantial share of earnings into philanthropy, especially support for orphans (through organizations such as Corazon de Vida) and local children’s enrichment in the Escanaba/Gladstone community.
