History
Established in 2001.
Zero Toys was started by Joel and Alan Aronie, two brothers from Concord, Massachusetts in 2001. Engineers in love with physics, the brothers developed the Zero Blaster, the perfect toy to demonstrate the toroidal vortex, a swirling doughnut shape ring found throughout nature. Zero Toys has been located in the Bradford Mill building in West Concord Massachusetts for the past 16 years and intends to be a part of the West Concord business community for many years to come.

Business Owner
Joel and Alan Aronie, two brothers from Concord, Ma, both engineers in love with physics, developed the Zero Blaster, a perfect toy which demonstrates the toroidal vortex, the doughnut shape. «Why does a ring keep its shape?» was the question and the Buck Rogers guns of their childhood, the inspiration. What can we make that wouldn’t be violent that would still be a gun, and maybe even teach? They brainstormed one night after work in their small shop where they manufactured tools for the restoration of old buildings.
The Camel ad on Broadway was one of their earliest memories. «How about smoke rings?» they said, almost in unison. From the drawing board to the marketplace took about two years. In 2010 Joel and Al traveled to China to determine if the factory workers were being treated fairly. They were both impressed with the gentleness of the people. Gentle is what the rings look like as they float up to 14 feet across a room. It is the perfect gift for the kid in all of us!
