How Thomas C. Kuschel built a family sheet metal business
In 1972, Kuschel was division manager at Teledyne Peer, a resistance (spot) welding machinery maker in Benton Township, Michigan, when he agreed to purchase Kenco Industrial Equipment Inc in South Florida.
Before selling Kenco Industrial Equipment Inc and retiring from the sheet metal industry, Thomas C. Kuschel, who passed away last year at age 85, taught his employees the value of a firm handshake and honest eye contact.
“Where there’s a will there’s a way,” are words Thomas C. Kuschel lived by in life and in business. “This is such a simple saying but it means so much,” says Scott (Kuschel), one of Kuschel’s four sons, who learned the value of those words through his father’s career in the sheet metal industry. “Nothing is impossible as long as you want it and give it your best effort.”
