50 years passes quickly
Stark Industrial has been a family-owned business since its inception in 1959. Each of its three generations brings a special niche to the company’s expanding array of products and services giving it a great advantage in the growing global manufacturing community.
Still President after 50 years, Ray Wilkof founded the company selling cutting tools from a small store front in Canton. Those tools soon required re-sharpening so he purchased a grinder and with that began the manufacturing sector of the business. In 1976, Ray’s son Sam joined Stark Industrial and grew the company's measuring equipment and precision parts divisions. In 2005, Sam’s son Jonathan joined the company. An engineer with an Industrial Technology degree, Jonathan led the company through a rigorous ISO 9001:2000 certification process.
