From tool supplier for King Edward VII’s royal horseshoer to to the leading US-made plier manufacturer, Jon DeArment of Channellock understands what it takes to keep a multi-generational family business going.

In a new video by Family Enterprise USA, DeArment, Channellock’s president and chief operating officer, details how his family’s 136-year-old business has managed to grow from a horse-drawn wagon to its current location here with 250,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing and warehouse space, and 370 employees making 75 different types of pliers.

In the 14-minute video, DeArment talks with Family Enterprise USA’s president Pat Soldano about how critical it is “to give back to the community” that has helped the company succeed, and how important the legacy of multi-generational families working at Channellock have been over the decades.
