2006

Our First Chapter

NVB Playgrounds, Inc. was founded by Nancy, Victor, and Nicolas Breedlove in 2006. At the time it was branded 19th State of Play, which started as a local online sales resource for Indiana playground equipment, Indiana being the 19th state in the Union. Quickly our vision changed to supply equipment nationwide, and 19th State of Play was not a viable option going forward. We launched a second website that same year in 2006 and our transformation was underway.
2009

Our 100th Customer

Despite working out of a small house with a handful of employees, we served our 100th customer in 2009. At this time, we were a regional company, yet we still offered all the essential playground equipment-related services, including fulfillment and installation of commercial playground equipment. Although our range of services would grow over the coming years, our original mission of supplying the best and brightest playground equipment to the best and brightest children has never changed.
2013

Breaking New Ground

Due to increasing demand for our products and the continued growth of our company, we began construction of a dual office space-warehouse unit in Greenfield, Indiana. This new complex would be large enough to house our employees as well as the bevy of equipment we sold to schools, parks, and other entities all around the Midwest. The construction of our new facility would serve as a springboard for future growth for NVB Playgrounds and PlaygroundEquipment.com.
2014

Upward and Onward

As our product offerings continued to grow, so, too, did our customer base. In 2014, we helped our 10,000th customer achieve their playground dream, and, in doing so, we crossed an important threshold. In just eight short years, NVB had experienced monumental growth in revenue and customers, a trend that would only tick upward in the years to come. Additionally, we fully moved into our new offices in Greenfield, Indiana, a home base that would serve us well in the years to come.
2018

Our 20,000th customer

In half as many years as it took for us to reach 10,000 customers, we doubled up and provided our stellar playground equipment and services to our 20,000th happy customer. Our expert installers and savvy sales team made this an inevitable outcome, and by growing our customer base, we also managed to garner more repeat customers, who trusted us to provide them with high-quality products at a reasonable price point.
2023

Soaring to New Heights

Despite numerous disruptions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, we came out the other side stronger than ever. Boasting over 100 employees in our Indianapolis, Indiana offices and many more in our new Savannah, Georgia warehouse, we positioned ourselves well for future success. May 2023 was our strongest sales month in company history, a high watermark that each and every one of our employees contributed to.
