Addison Machine Tools Ltd was founded in the United Kingdom in 1956 by Eddie Addison and started producing tube bending machines in 1958. McKee Machine Tool Company, formerly SEMCO, was founded as a machine shop in 1972 by Ralph McKee in Wilmington, Ohio (USA). As both companies shared a common focus on the tube manipulation industry, and complimentary products, the two joined together as sales agents for each other. The two formerly came together under the same ownership, and same name, AddisonMckee, in 1998. Today, the AddisonMckee brand continues to provide innovative equipment and tooling solutions for CNC tube bending and endforming.
Eaton Leonard was founded in 1973 in Santa Ana, California, by Homer Eaton and Leonard Zerlaut. At this time, the company introduced the first tube measuring system to the tube manipulation industry. Over the years,

Eaton Leonard

became an industry leader in the areas of tube bending and measuring, and expanded its measuring business to include designing and manufacturing tube checking gauges at its subsidiary, Tube Fixture, in Cologne, France. In September 2013, Eaton Leonard merged with AddisonMckee bringing together the ingenuity, creativity, and global scale of both companies and its employees to better serve the combined customer base.

Eagle Precision Technologies was started by George Usher and Don Wilkins in 1958 and grew into a global market leader in the tube manipulation industry. In the 1970’s, Eagle expanded its business model to enter into silencer making. In 1982 Eagle purchased one of the global leaders in silencer making equipment, the United Kingdom-based Moon Brothers, eventually changing the name to Eagle Precision UK. In 2009, Eagle merged with AddisonMckee, consolidating their bending and endforming technologies. Today, the Eagle brand name continues to be synonymous with the design and manufacture of the highest quality muffler-related products.
