| Standen's was established in the early 1920's by a young entrepreneur,
Cyril Standen, who began the firm by forging hot steel into his very first
product, a cowboy boot insert. Standen's grew to become a
supplier to the aftermarket leaf spring business and was incorporated in
1924. Over the years Standen's responded quickly to changing markets and
developed many new products. In the early 1970's the company had
expanded enough to begin producing leaf springs and trailer axles for original
equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.s).
Today, Standen's is one of North America's largest supplier of leaf springs, trailer axles, tillage tools and specialty heat treated steel products. Standen's is a major supplier to both O.E.M. and aftermarket industries.
In the mid 1970's, market studies were completed to determine the feasibility of becoming a producer of cultivator shanks and tillage tools for the Agricultural industry. State of the art shank manufacturing equipment was designed and implemented. Today, Standen's supplies most major O.E.M. agricultural manufacturers throughout North America as well as many overseas manufacturers. As news of Standen's high quality levels reached North American markets, Standen's became a supplier to many O.E.M. manufacturers as well as several military projects. Standen's Limited is now an integrated manufacturer of vehicle suspension products, industrial, agricultural and automotive components. Other products manufactured by Standen's include stabilizer bars, u-bolts, drawbars Today, under the leadership of company owners Mel Svendsen, President and C.E.O. and Gerald Lockey, Secretary Treasurer and C.F.O. Standen's Limited is Western North America's largest complete supplier of leaf springs, agricultural and suspension components. Standen's employs over 550 dedicated team members who together are focused on quality and customer satisfaction. The company's manufacturing division, headed by Mel Svendsen,
encompasses over 250,000 square feet of technologically advanced
operations in four buildings that is
capable of producing over 50,000 tons of product per year in two shifts 5
days per week.
Standen's has led the industry in research into new spring technology such as long life springs for high mobility military vehicles, robotics and computer design software. Being North America's first leaf spring manufacturer to use "Computer Assisted Design" (CAD) has allowed Standen's to provide customers with design through state of the art computer analysis. Along with manufactured goods, Standen's develops in-house new manufacturing machines and software programs to support manufacturing of the future. Currently, Standen's has several new high tech projects in process. The recent expansion of our manufacturing operations to 250,000 sq ft. coincided with the roll-out of our fourth computer controlled Parabolic Taper Roll along with new stress peening, eye-rolling, and heat treating equipment. Standen's mandate is to provide the highest quality products
and services to our customers. To maintain high standards and top service
to customers, the Standen's team must constantly seek new ideas
and improvements in all aspects of company operations. This commitment
allows the team to meet the changing demands of the North American and
World marketplaces.
