In 1961 two German immigrants Karl F. Jahn and Adam Rehmann used their skills originally acquired in Austria to open a company to design and build tooling and equipment for manufacturers throughout Canada and the United States. The company grew and eventually expanded into manufacturing under the name of Kardam Manufacturing Ltd supplying stampings and assemblies to OEM automotive customers. Karl F. Jahn sold the manufacturing division in 1998 and two of his sons Louis and Edward continued on with the company’s original products under the name of Jahn Engineering Ltd. Since then the company has grown continuously expanding capabilities in automated assembly equipment and metal stamping die technology and the addition of JE Fixture & Tooling specializing in check fixtures and inspection equipment and services.
