Six former employees of Remmele Engineering founded Con-Tek Machine, Inc. in 1983. These original partners brought with them over 75 years of combined experience in designing and building special machines, so even in its infancy, Con-Tek Machine was respected as a true leader in the field of urethane fixturing equipment. Throughout the years Con-Tek has continued to build upon its reputation as a leader by designing and building the best equipment available in the urethane markets.
In the early days, Con-Tek focused on supplying polyurethane foaming fixtures to the food equipment manufacturers industry. This led to work in cold storage panels and the appliance manufacturing industry. To this day Con-Tek is very proud of having worked with and continuing working with almost all of the major appliance and commercial food equipment manufacturers in the United States.
In the late eighties Con-Tek broadened its base of business to include custom RIM clamps for reaction injection molding. Now, Con-Tek clamps are used in over 30 companies around the country for producing a variety of urethane molded parts such as steering wheels, instrument panels, snowmobile hoods, mountain bike handlebars and many other parts as well.
In the early to mid nineties Con-Tek Machine began working with manufacturers of equipment built for the refrigerated transportation industry. Design and manufacturing innovations have uniquely positioned us as a world leader in this market. Our US patent for equipment to foam ISO shipping containers and our work on producing in-situ trailer foaming fixtures have clearly distinguished us from our national and international competitors.
One of the great strengths of our company is our loyal employee base. 60% of our current employees have a combined average tenure of over 17 years. You'll find that throughout the organization our employees have the experience to get the job done right. Most of these employees are trained in multiple disciplines. We believe that benefits you, the customer and our company in a number of ways. Machine designers do sales, estimating, drafting and project management work. Machine assemblers are also qualified to weld and do machining work. Customers can deal with the same contact throughout the course of their project and shop labor can be shifted from one area to another to streamline workloads and scheduling - this ensures the best product is produced in the most time efficient schedule.
These are just some of the many reasons why Con-Tek Machine is the best at what we do!
