Kalco Machine and Manufacturing Co started in 1998 when David Kulbeth, an experienced machine shop supervisor, purchased a 2000 square foot shop from a gentleman who did machining as a hobby. This entrepreneurial risk grew out of David's passion to build a shop where machinists were respected and customers were treated honestly and fairly. The original shop had manual equipment only, requiring the
establishment within this new shop of a core group of highly skilled manual machinists. In July of 1999, the shop capacity and technology was greatly advanced with the purchase of the first CNC machining center, followed shortly thereafter by the purchase of a CNC lathe. In October 2002 it was necessary to move to a larger building of 5000 square feet on Sheppard Access Road location. The business has continued to flourish, moving forward in October 2004 with the necessary addition of 4000 square feet, offering a total of 9000 square feet of production space for our customers. In 2019 Kalco move to 5000 Central Freeway. The extra space created the expansion of a fabrication and weld shop in addition to the existing machine shop. Today Kalco has numerous pieces of CNC equipment as well as state of the art inspection equipment. It has grown from a one man shop to 95 full and part time employees.
