We began producing automobile components in 1911.  American's automotive icons were our first customers:  Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler, John Willys and others.  They were drawn by our understanding of metal alloys and our ability to translate that theory into products they could rely on.
1911 Founded in Toledo, Ohio as the Mather Spring Company.  The company manufactured Bumpers as well as Leaf Springs.
1946 The Torsion Bar Spring plant was built to produce Stabilizer Bars in Toledo, Ohio.
1987 Mather Metals was purchased by NHK Spring Co., LTD., and renamed New Mather Metals, Inc.
2001 Due to the successful growth of the long-term partnerships with our customers, New Mather Metals begins construction of a second stabilizer bar manufacturing facility in Franklin, KY to commence operation in the fall of 2002.  The 78,000 sq. ft. facility is designed for the total bar manufacturing process inclusive of the pain and sub-assembly operations; therefore, beneficial in the control of over-all product quality and delivery.
2003 Expansion of Franklin plant announced due to business growth.
2005 (Fall) New expansion scheduled to be completed.
Today, we continue to be sought by manufacturers seeking experienced team mates able to bend, shape and treat metal components to meet a wide variety of performance and design characteristics.  We are a leading supplier of stabilizer bars to General Motors, Toyota, NUMMI, Nissan, Honda, Subaru, Saturn, Isuzu, CAMI and other truck and light vehicle manufacturers.
