1990s
Joe McKinley and Earl Busdieker, after spending years in the lead oxide production business, came together and started Eagle Oxide Services. The goal, provide high quality lead oxide production equipment and service to the lead acid battery industry. With both entrepreneurs tapping into their lead oxide experience, they had the vision to understand the need for an equipment manufacturer to not only provide systems but to also provide expertise in the production and use of lead oxides. By the success of delivering on both product and service, this led to building trust and repeat business with the major battery manufacturers throughout the world.
1999
Growth continued requiring the owners of Eagle to purchase an equipment manufacturer to enable Eagle to obtain full control of building the multiple products within their portfolio. By having direct manufacturing oversight, quality and delivery continued to excel.
2007
Again, the owners of Eagle had the vision to meet industry needs by capitalizing on the capabilities of their equipment manufacturing facility by marketing and selling the ability to design and build custom manufacturing equipment. This expansion led to gaining additional expertise in many types of manufacturing processes and systems which has further enhanced the design and build of the oxide equipment.
2012
As growth continued and having outgrown the original manufacturing space, the decision was made to move the plant to a new 54,000 ft2 (5,016 m2) facility. This new space has led to further growth in product offerings, size, and capabilities.
2014
As engineering demands grew in designing and developing new industrial automation equipment, it became clear more engineering staff was required. To facilitate this need, a local engineering firm was acquired which greatly increased the engineering team and experience related to automation, robotics, vision systems, controls, and complex assembly capabilities.
