Ron Meyer and his partner Si Kraft started Kraft Tool Co. in September of 1981. Before that, they worked together for another tool company, where Ron Meyer served as a national sales manager and Kraft was a director of marketing, but they just weren’t satisfied with how the business operated. Both Ron Meyer and Kraft were underwhelmed with lead times, and product quality wasn’t up to their standards, so Kraft Tool was born from a desire to do better for their customers.
