Wendell Froedge started the company in 1962 as a watch repair shop, and slowly began adding other services, such as machining and industrial and automotive supply. With previous experience as a farmer, jeweler, machinist, soldier, and agricultural salesman, Wendell drew from a broad set of talent and experiences, and a deep understanding of customer needs
His son Tom, after starting his career in science and engineering, took over the company in 1990, establishing the company's automation competiencies and expanding existing portions of the business.
