Beginning in 1962, Ed spent 16 years working in various model shops in the Detroit area and West Michigan. In 1978, he decided it was time to venture out on his own. He and a partner opened Arbor Model and Pattern, Inc. in August of 1978. In the middle 1980's Arbor began building check fixtures in addition to models and duplicating aids. It wasn't long before Arbor became a predominantly gage and fixture shop, prompting the name change to Arbor Gage and Tooling, Inc. Ed bought out his partner in the early 1990's and continues to own and operate the business he began in the plant in which it was founded. Ed feels that with the team presently in place, Arbor is better prepared than ever to continue the growth it has enjoyed in recent years. |
