Raven Industries (NASDAQ: RAVN) is a U.S manufacturer of precision agriculture products, high-altitude balloons, plastic film and sheeting, radar systems, and "special apparel" products. The company is headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

History

Established in 1956 to make high-altitude balloons, Raven was launched by a group of General Mills employees, including General Mills High Altitude Research division employee Ed Yost.[3][4] After its establishment, the company's product offerings expanded to include items such as commercial and recreational hot air balloons, large plastic storage containers for use in agriculture, and ski pants. The U.S. military and other government agencies are among its clients, and besides the U.S. Department of Defense, Raven Industries has other big name customers such as Google.[5]
