Early History of Allied Chucker and Engineering Company
In late 1948, a group of five young men in their 20’s started the Allied Engineering Company. The manufacturing company they all had worked for just closed its doors and they saw an opportunity to take advantage of their combined skills and set out on a new business venture. Melvin Schalhamer, a tool and process engineer, and Julian Van Maele, a toolmaker, were the nucleus of the team. With their guidance, the group of men began designing and making form tools and other specialty tooling for the local industry.
After a couple years, using their ability to design and make specialty tooling, the newly minted engineering group started precision machining castings and forgings for a local transmission and heavy duty truck industry company. That eventually became the core business, leading to the name change of Allied Chucker and Engineering Company.
