Cascade Clamps

Cascade Clamps - Founded in Portland, Oregon in 1943, the Cascade Manufacturing Company started as a small machine store hiring only four individuals. Overall sales for that particular year amounted to about sixty thousand dollars. The first recorded sales revenues involved the assembly and machining of stainless steel valves, pipe fittings and other components. Within five years of operation, the company had stretched to forty workers and their yearly sales volume had increased to three hundred thirty thousand dollars. Today, Cascade is among the top worldwide producers within the material handling business.

Design and manufacturing of the company's initial hydraulic cylinder allowed this new business to aggressively engage in new business opportunities. Throughout the last 60 years, the business of material handling has developed into a very sophisticated field with Cascade proudly playing a part in its growth. Cascade at present continues to develop as the premier provider of forklift attachments and various associated products. The company feels assured in their skill to continue to lead the way within the business by understanding customer's requirements in the future and remaining competitive in the international market.

In the nineteen fifties, Cascade began designing, fabricating and promoting hydraulic accessories. Construction was finished in 1956 on a new office in order to house all the office and plant operations in Portland, Oregon at the company's current headquarters. After fifteen years of business, total workers reached a hundred and eighty workers and sales had reached nearly $2,300,000.

The next production plant was built in the year 1959 in Springfield, Ohio. 1960 marked Cascade's initial transfer into the international world of the material handling industry while the business recognized interest in Australia, the Netherlands and England.

In 1964, the company altered its name to the Cascade Corporation. Then in the year 1965, the company went public with an initial offering of 200,000 shares of common stock. Ever since then the business has expanded its manufacturing facilities throughout the continental US to the areas Warner Robins Georgia to go along with its already existing plants in Portland, Oregon and Springfield, Ohio. Cascade products are manufactured globally due to numerous subsidiary operations. In the year 1944, a new facility was accomplished in Almere, the Netherlands which is Cascade's European head office. This plant is made to be the ultimate customer service centre.

Cascade further expanded their product base in 1996 and the year 1997 after acquiring 5 firms, which included the Kenhar Corporation, the international best in forks.
