In 1952, John Haswell had dreams of owning his own metal stamping plant. In his basement, Haswell built dies for metal stamping companies in the greater Detroit area. Within 10 years, business grew so fast that he moved from his garage to buildings of ever-increasing size until his company, Master Craft Industrial Equipment, was moved to a manufacturing facility that employed more than 200 employees. The company grew from just one press to nearly 100 while capacity was augmented from 10 to approximately 3,000 tons. This enterprise produces millions of metal stampings, automobile pulleys and numerous assembly components for automobiles and trucks, as well as industrial and farm tractors. The company s forklifts are used in more than 50 different industry segments, and have been sold and used in at least three continents worldwide. Master Craft Industrial Equipment is headquartered in Tifton, Ga.
