OUR HISTORY

Founded in 1952 by former Greenlee assemblers, Ed Paulson and Bernie Peterson, Kadon was purchased in 1973 by Jim and Jeff Franklin. Kadon produced screw machine products primarily for the aerospace industry until 1980, by which time we had increased the number of Greenlee automatics to five machines.

During the early eighties, because we were able to machine parts requiring a greater expertise and precision than the average machine shop, we began fulfilling the needs of power control companies in the area. Our experience working with high-temperature nickel alloys made machining steel and brass an easy transition.

Our business has grown from our original three machine, 3,000 square foot building, into a company occupying 63,000 square feet, employing nearly 100 people operating 100's of machines. Our newest machines comprise some of the latest 'state-of-the-art' equipment available on the market today.
