Bringing together Austrian & US expertise in measuring tools

We visited Keson LLC in Aurora, IL, which produces and sells high-quality measuring and marking products for professional tradespeople and contractors. In 2018, Keson partnered with Voralberg-based SOLA Measuring Tools to form a new company: Keson LLC.

The partnership just makes sense: Keson and SOLA are both family-owned, third generation companies currently led by the grandsons of the company founders. Both companies are leaders in measuring and marking tools, offer complementary product lines, and share very similar values. With a combined 120 years of market experience, Keson LLC builds upon Keson’s US manufacturing, existing distribution network and strong relationships by adding SOLA’s European manufacturing expertise, precision engineering and industry-leading technology.

Over 75% of SOLA's products are manufactured in Götzis, Austria, where the company's headquarters and production facilities are located.

Business Development Manager for Keson and SOLA Benjamin Fessler and President of Keson Aaron Nosek provided an overview of the two companies and their partnership along with a tour of the Keson LLC facilities, where employees manufacture and assemble some of Keson's measuring tools. It's inspiring to see a successful US/Austrian business partnership at work.
