Although he had a single machine, it didn’t take long
for the company to grow. He hired more employees,
invested in more equipment and expanded into more
markets. In 2004, he moved the company to Waconia
and began taking an active role with local schools,
community programs and manufacturing associations.
The company continued to grow and Yeager knew it
would only be a matter of time before he would need
more room again. In 2008 Yeager purchased a lot
in Norwood Young America and constructed a new
building with twice as much space and room to expand
in the future.
Today YEAGER employs nearly 20 people and offers a
range of value-added capabilities, including assembly,
sub-assembly and testing. From close-tolerance medical
components to after-market equipment for racecars,
YEAGER is a trusted supplier of parts for many OEMs
and contract shops in the Midwest. Many of its parts are
distributed worldwide.
After 20 years in business, Yeager’s goal to provide
customers with what they need, when they need it,
remains unchanged.
“If we are able to work with a customer from beginning
to end, we are able to focus more on what the part
needs to accomplish versus what the customer wants to
pay for the part,” Yeager says. “I want to be able to pick
our customers carefully so we can develop long-term
relationships and help them succeed.”
