National Machinery

Yesterday, National Machinery celebrated its remarkable 150th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in both the company's history and its deep connection to the Tiffin community. Since relocating from Cleveland in 1882, National Machinery has grown into a global leader in advanced cold forming technology while remaining a cornerstone of Tiffin's local economy and development. The impact of National Machinery and the Kalnow family reaches far beyond their manufacturing achievements. Their generous contributions have supported major community projects, including the football stadium at Tiffin Columbian High School, the Tiffin YMCA, and the East Green amphitheater. These efforts have played a significant role in enhancing the quality of life and opportunities available in the Tiffin area. In addition to these projects, the National Machinery Foundation has been a key supporter of local organizations and individuals. Their scholarship programs, including the $10,000-per-year National Machinery Engineering Scholarship and the Engineering and Technology Scholarship, provide critical support to students pursuing higher education in engineering. These initiatives reflect National Machinery’s commitment to fostering the next generation of innovators and investing in the future of the community. Throughout its 150-year history, National Machinery has continuously evolved, expanding internationally while maintaining a strong local presence. Their world headquarters in Tiffin stands as a testament to their commitment to innovation, community involvement, and long-term success. In celebration of this milestone, National Machinery is hosting events throughout the week for customers and vendors, culminating in a community open house this Sunday, September 22, from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM. All in the Tiffin community and surrounding areas are invited to attend and join in celebrating this incredible legacy.
