History
| History of Kessler Machine Kessler Machine was started in 1932 by Joseph F. Kessler. At the time he was working as a supervisor building and designing winches and derricks at Reed Morrison. When the great depression came, they were forced to close the doors. At that time Joe bought what he needed to start Kessler Machine Works from his old employer for pennies on a dollar. He spent four years working from an old shed on Blue Hill River Road in Canton, Massachusetts. Once he saved up enough money (1936) he bought our current location. |
