History

Holden Company was founded in Keene, New Hampshire, in 1926 by the Company's namesake, Harold L. Holden. The Company has remained a family owned firm since inception, starting from its modest beginnings fabricating dust collection/ventilation systems, eventually producing general sheet metal products, and finally transitioning to the heavier, more complex and precision manufactured projects of today. Holden Company continues to operate its facilities in Keene and has been at its current 5-acre industrial park location since 1968. The plant facility was expanded by over 40% in 2001 to accommodate our customer’s ever demanding requirements. Today we employ over 40 plant and office personnel committed to serving our customer's needs.

Quality Control

Careful inspection of all customer parts manufactured by Holden Company is an integral work-in-process protocol. Parts are inspected at each operation (shear, punch, weld, assembly). They are also randomly examined throughout the run process, with welds 100% visually checked and leak tested (if required). Completed parts are inspected against print specifications utilizing our most advanced gauging equipment. Furthermore, all parts go through our inspections department before going to our surface finishing and paint rooms. The same high quality standards apply throughout the manufacturing process.

Our commitment to producing quality products extends beyond the production process and begins with our efficient office operation. Our E-2 Shop System^TM* integrates our estimating, production scheduling, shipping and billing operations. We can follow the production process of your job with our software system, thus providing you, our customer, with up to the minute order status if required.
