North Canton-based Seco Machine Part of A. Stucki Company's New Industrial Division

A. Stucki Company, a manufacturer and supplier of engineered products and services for international rail transportation and other markets, has formed several subsidiaries into an industrial division to emphasize its full range of production capabilities.

Included in the industrial division are:

· Alco Spring Industries, Inc., a manufacturer of quality hot wound coiled springs, located in Chicago Heights, IL;

· Hallman Foundry, a production foundry facility that casts high quality iron castings to serve the rail and industrial markets, located in Sanford, NC; and

· Seco Machine, an industry leader in comprehensive contract manufacturing and high production urethane pour capabilities, located in North Canton, OH.

Known as a leader in the development and application of railcar dynamic control products for more than 100 years, A. Stucki Company has expanded to encompass a versatile group of wholly owned subsidiaries that offer a range of manufacturing capabilities for the transportation, industrial, and commercial markets.

“The combined capabilities of the companies in our industrial division offer custom engineering and manufacturing using state-of-the-art equipment and processes,” said William Kiefer, president and chief executive officer. “From foundry production and hot wound coiled spring manufacturing, to precision CNC turning and milling and high production urethane pour capabilities, we offer the experience, knowledge and capacity to deliver full manufacturing, service and support, from prototype to production.”

A. Stucki Company has experienced significant growth over the past decade, spurred by the acquisition of several independent, yet complementary, manufacturing companies. Founded as a side bearing manufacturer that grew to encompass the production and supply of a broad line of railroad components, the company later expanded to include repair and reconditioning services. The addition of Alco Spring, Hallman Foundry, and Seco Machine has expanded the company’s capabilities to extend beyond the rail industry.

“The integrating of these companies is changing the way we do business,” said Kiefer. “By applying the same high standards of innovation, engineering, and customer satisfaction for which the A. Stucki Company has been known for more than a century, we are poised for continued growth and service to a much larger market.”
