Pequot Tool and Manufacturing located in Jenkins, Minnesota began business in 1981 as a family owned metal fabrication and stamping job shop. Over the years, owners Josef and Agnes Goerges and their 5 sons Karlo, Gary, Joe, Brian and Mike, have grown the business into an over $12 million dollar enterprise of 86,000 square feet and nearly 130 employees. President Mark Shervey says, “We have built our business on the philosophy of working with people we want to partner with; partner for common goals.” Shervey credits Pequot’s consistent growth to diversification and customer satisfaction. Pequot Tool boasts the strengths of their successful marketing plan to include diversification in industry base and customers as well as the ability to provide a broad range of services. And when they say broad, look out. Pequot Tool is literally your one stop shop for whatever your needs. Services they provide include:
Shervey says, “Pequot Tool can be the one stop shop; where our competitors may only be capable of supplying one part.” As an ISO 9001:2008 certified company that is also AS9100 compliant, it is not surprising that continual training and updating of skills are frequent occurrences of the working environment at Pequot Tool. Working with some of the best equipment available on the market compliments the exceptional technical and troubleshooting skills of the experienced staff at Pequot Tool. Pequot’s customer base is primarily in the Midwest. However, they have expanded to the west coast and Texas, where they are seeing significant growth. They also have a presence globally with customers in Hong Kong and Mexico. They run about 500 jobs a month that can be anything from making one part for nuclear testing to making 2,000 parts for a hydraulic machine. Products can be made from aluminum, brass, steel, stainless steel, plastics and other exotic materials. Customers can bring in a blueprint or product design and Pequot Tool will machine, fabricate and assemble it. Kendeco is proud to be a partner of Pequot Tool and Manufacturing. We have a shared philosophy of achieving mutually beneficial goals. We are honored that Pequot Tool trusts Kendeco to support their industrial supply needs. Shervey says they appreciate “the expertise they can draw from Kendeco.” |
