Kalco was founded by Kenneth Avery
Lawson in early 2004. The Lawson family has a long history in the
machine design & manufacturing industry, starting in 1959 by his
father, Avery Lawson which was co-founder of Bouldin & Lawson Inc.,
one of the largest manufacturer of Automated Greenhouse Equipment.
Mr. Lawson started his design abilities in 1988 with another of his
father's companies, Central Manufacturing Company, which
manufactured tractor implements for the Nursery Industry.
Soon after, in 1995 Mr. Lawson was founder and CEO of Lawson
Equipment Company, one of the country's leading producers of
innovative attachments for the mini skid steer industry. Lawson
Equipment Company was sold to Pengo Corporation, which was
subsequently sold to Metapoint Partners in 2002, which also owns
Attachments Technologies Inc. (ATI Bradco).
In the early part of 2003 Mr. Lawson was one of the key members of
the Founding Management Group for Compact Power Inc. (CPI) in South
Carolina, one of the Nations leading Compact Equipment Distributors.
Mr. Lawson was Manager of CPI's attachment design and procurement
effort.
In 2004 Mr. Lawson decided to use his talents to help other
companies and individuals bring their ideas to life with Kalco, LLC. |
