> The company was founded in 1899 as the Chicago Solder Company to produce
> flux-cored solder. This patented Kester manufacturing process has had a
> major
> impact in the electronics industry to this day.
>
> As Kester grew and gained success, the company opened manufacturing
> facilities in Brantford, Ontario, Canada in 1931 and Anaheim, California
> in
> 1959. In 1967, Kester Solder was acquired by Litton Systems Division of
> Litton Industries.
>
> Kester recognized the importance of being a global supplier in the
> electronics industry by establishing manufacturing facilities in Singapore
> (1970) and in Germany (1972) to better service the Asian and European
> markets
> respectively. In 1990, Kester acquired the Blackstone Flux. This facility
> produces and develops products for the automotive heat exchanger and
> wire/strip tinning markets.
>
> In efforts to further extend the product line offering, Kester acquired
> the
> assets of two divisions of the Gardiner Metals Company in 1995 - Gardiner
> Solder and Techform Laboratories. To handle the growing demand in Asia,
> facilities were opened in Taiwan (1992), Malaysia (1996), and the
> Philippines
> in 1998.
>
> Kester continued to expand in 1998 by acquiring the IEM electronic solder
> paste product line from Fusion Incorporated and the assets of Cramco
> Solder
> Alloys Limited in Canada. Again in 1999, Kester grew by acquiring Tarutin
> Co., Ltd. of Japan.
