Company founded
1998
Kalco Machine and Manufacturing Co started in 1998 when David Kulbeth, an experienced machine shop supervisor, purchased a 2000 square foot shop from a gentleman who did machining as a hobby. This entrepreneurial risk grew out of David's passion to build a shop where machinists were respected and customers were treated honestly and fairly. The original shop had manual equipment only, requiring the establishment within this new shop of a core group of highly skilled manual machinists.
