In 1956, George Kern launched Swanton Welding and Machining; a one-man welding operation that caters to the farming community. Shortly after, George hired his son-in-law Norm Zeiter as his first employee. By the start of the 80’s, the company consisted of six employees.
George Kern stepped down for retirement in 1985, but the welding shop continued to thrive. Under Norm’s leadership and innovative thinking, the company became one of the best equipped custom fabrication shops in the Midwest and Southwest. As the new head of the company, Norm purchased an 8,000 sq. ft. facility in Swanton, Ohio, sparking the company’s growth. By the mid-2000’s, the buildings had grew tremendously, even branching out to create a location in Griffin, Georgia.
