Tom and Dave had been leading Crafts Technology since 2001, when they purchased the company. Both Tom and Dave had been involved with Crafts operation prior to 2001 and knew that Crafts Technology was a company that had a lot of potential for additional operational improvements and sales growth.
Tom and Dave progressed the company into 2013; when the three owners sold the entire organization to the employees in a 100% ESOP [Employee Stock Ownership Plan] conversion.

The Crafts Technology family is extremely proud to announce that our Director of Engineering, Jeffrey Roberts, has received the Young Leaders Award from the Technology and Manufacturing Association of Illinois.
