About the Best Family

Emax Plastics was founded by Ev Best, from Alberta, Canada in 1978.  The trajectory of Emax Plastics soared with the exclusive distribution partnership with Proline Pipe Equipment Inc., notably in providing pipeline stands used by multinational companies throughout the world.

By the early 90’s, Ev’s son, Larry slowly took charge of the business.  Further accolades followed, driven by the increasing demand from Canada Parks for floating marinas.  Larry soon began showcasing his ingenuity in designing float kits and strategic navigational buoy markers. 

Beyond his professional pursuits, Larry, a reserved family man, finds joy in the company of his four children and six grandchildren.

During his leisure hours, Larry immerses himself in writing new CNC programs, addressing challenges, and contemplating ways to enhance quality, production and efficiency for Emax Plastics. His interests extend to offshore fishing and relishing moments spent on the open sea.

In 2000, Travis Best, Larry’s son, joined the team and is the current General Manager.

Don’t just make a Dock, Make Memories!

Crafting your very own floating dock has never been easier and more reliable, thanks to Emax Plastics DIY Floating Dock Kits. Our time-tested solutions streamline the ordering process, making it as straightforward as selecting the size or design you desire. With just a few clicks, you can have all the essential components added to your cart: recommended floats and Marine Grade Hardware, all tailored to your chosen design.

But here’s the real beauty of it: these kits do not include the lumber or decking, allowing you the freedom to source these materials locally, suiting your wood grade preferences and budget.

For stability and security, you might also need mooring hardware to anchor your new dock in place. To address this, take a look at our Anchor page, where you can find descriptions of  anchoring types as well as our own anchors and installation tools.
If you ever find yourself in need of guidance or have questions along the way, our knowledgeable and dedicated staff are here to assist you throughout your dock-building journey.  At Emax Plastics, we are not just providing kits; we are your partners in creating the perfect floating haven.

"I do find EMAX floats quite robust, I have never had any issues with them leaking. We have plans to use the EMAX floats exclusively on our Dock spines at SBYC over the next few years. I also find them easy to work with during construction."
