Generant

Generant company was founded in the early 1930's by Mr. Albert Simon, an engineer and business owner. Mr. Simon started the company with a line of needle valves, filters, lubricators and pressure regulators. Generant held the original patent on the Air Pressure Regulator and began to assemble and market these products to industry. In 1966, Mr. Simon retired and sold the business to his accountant, Mr. Paul Buren. In 1968, Mr. Buren acquired Generant's largest supplier, Reliable Screw Machine Products. Reliable was a job shop screw machine company. Then in 1972, Mr. Buren further expanded the Screw Machine business with the acquisition of Automatic Screw Machine Products located in Butler NJ. Soon after, Generant Company, Reliable Screw Machine Products and the newly acquired Automatic Screw Machine Company consolidated their manufacturing operations to the Butler, NJ facility. The facility was expanded in 1984 to accommodate the growing operations.
