Arthur J. Frengel founded the company in Sunnyvale, California, in 1978. We provide specialized parts for high-tech industries like medical equipment, robotics, and wafer fabrication. Our awareness of our duties as an employer and manufacturer has improved over the last 25 years. The "Guidelines for Good Stewardship" that we have formally embraced are founded on the requirements of our community, employees, and environment. These rules "are based solely on Principles and Ethics that protect those needs" and were written "without consideration to the costs of implementation."
