PROGRESS, PARTNERSHIPS MARK RIMROCK'S 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

摘要

Decades of technical development and high-quality products, as well as personal commitment, help the automation specialist create a lasting impression. Most manufacturers realize how the numerous changes to automation technology have influenced industry over recent decades. But one company's perseverance and progress through those years have made it a reliable partner to manufacturers in this everchanging environment. Rimrock Corp. (www.rimrockcorp.com) celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, boasting a rich and innovative history that has helped to shape the way forging automation is used today. The vision of a rugged product line and superior customer service began in 1956 with a family-owned company, known then as the Columbus Automatic Lubrication Co., or CALCO. Founded by Franz Stone, CALCO supplied spray equipment to forgers, foundries, glass and rubber molders, and extruders. In 1962, CALCO changed its name to Rimrock as a tribute to Franz's grandfather, who was nicknamed "Rimrock" in recognition for his love of geology and the Grand Canyon. (The name is also a word-play on the founding family's last name, Stone or "Rock.")
