History:
IBS was founded in 1989, by Skyl Fred. Fred started the business repairing pinball machines and arcade games.
Whether it was fixing a pinball machine or heading to his shop to create a tool to make his life easier Fred has always had a passion to make things better! In 1991, that innovative mindset led to Penguin beginning to manufacture their first commercially available product – the Penguin Pinball Dolly. Thanks to Fred’s go-getter spirit, a new direction for Penguin Amusements had been set – manufacturing products.
With decades of experience fixing tables, Fred and the team saw and recognized multiple design flaws in mass production rails, and as demand for rails grew, he decided to focus solely on the billiards industry. As they iterated and innovated over the years Penguin continued to improve tables for players of all types – including developing the Pro Pocket – Rails For Serious Players.
While Fred has stepped back from the saws and drills, for a well-earned retirement, the team (including Fred’s son) continues to produce rails that lead the industry in durability and playability.
Our product line now features a full array of superior-quality pool table replacement parts and recovery supplies.
