Ken Forging Celebrates 40 Years
Richard Kovach
Ohio-based manufacturer Ken Forging is marking its 40th anniversary.
Founded in 1970 as Ken Tool & Die by Richard Kovach in his Cleveland garage, he moved into a 2000 sq ft facility within nine months and added two part-time people. For the next five years Kovach was sinking dies for other Cleveland forging companies.
In 1972 the company constructed a building 60 miles east of Cleveland in Jefferson, OH, and converted its emphasis from die sinking to forging of fasteners. The company expanded to 11 full-time employees with Kovach as CEO, engineer, draftsman and die sinker.
Ken Forging’s products of carbon, alloy and stainless steels include eyebolts, nut eyebolts, rod ends, turnbuckles & fittings, eye nuts, C- clamps, machine strap clamps, wedges, D-rings, pad eyes, T-slot nuts, Safety hoist rings, and custom forgings up to 200 lbs.
Today Ken Forging has 130 employees in a 250,000 sq ft plant located on a 21-acre site at 1049 Griggs Rd., (P.O. Box 277), Jefferson, OH 44047. Tel: 440-993-8091 or 888-536-3674 Fax:440-992-0360 E-mail: info@kenforging.com Web: kenforging.com ©2010 GlobalFastenerNews.com
