Company founded
1946
Founded in 1946 by Frank Falatyn, Sr. as Ulster Tool and Die, a family-run machine shop in Kingston, New York, FALA Technologies grew steadily throughout the decades, establishing a successful business in the 1970’s and 80’s by manufacturing highly precise machine parts for IBM and other companies. In the early 1990’s, the company faced formidable challenges when IBM closed its Kingston campus and competition from low-cost, overseas production had seized FALA’s market share.
