 Throughout
its history, the Taber name has been associated with Quality
and Reliability. Our products continue to be considered the
standard for comparison in many industries.
Originally
founded in 1941 by Ralph Taber, the Taber Instrument Corporation
was established to manufacture materials testing instruments. As
lead engineer, Mr. Taber invented numerous testing instruments that
aided in the understanding of material physical properties. Many
of the original product concepts were so innovative they are still
widely used today.
In
1955, Taber's product line was expanded with the acquisition of
bonded foil strain gage pressure transducers from Frederick Flader
- former chief engineer of the Curtis Wright Aircraft Company. The
primary focus of Taber pressure transducers was on critical pressure
measurement applications. In 1965, Taber incorporated a 5V amplifier
module in a pressure transducer for use on the initial Apollo Space
Craft. The use of high reliability electronic components was initiated
in 1985 for the Naval Research Labs in conjunction with the launching
of satellites from the Space Shuttle. We continue this tradition
as Taber now supplies life support and flight hardware in Space,
Aviation and Military Vehicle applications.
Low
tonnage mechanical stamping presses were added to the product offering
when Kenco Presses was purchased 1967. Designed for applications
requiring 3 to 20 tons of force, these presses proved to be so well
engineered and recognized that Taber continues to manufacture them
under the original trade name "Kenco".
The
Taber Instrument Corporation was acquired by the Teledyne organization
in 1966, when it became Teledyne Taber. In August 1992, Teledyne
sold the assets of Teledyne Taber to Kenneth L. Slawson and the
company name was changed to Taber Industries.
In
June 2003, Daniel K. Slawson became the Company's President. Kenneth
L. Slawson now serves as Taber's Chairman and CEO.
Taber
Industries operates today with the same principles that Ralph Taber
started this company with - meeting customer needs. With
over sixty years of successes, we continue to invest in advanced
technologies and manufacturing processes. With an in-house machine
shop, dedicated design and manufacturing engineers, specialized
mechanical and electronic manufacturing assembly departments, along
with test facilities, Taber Industries is 100% vertically integrated.
