How we started…
EST Tool & Machine, Inc, is family owned and established in 1994 by Eugene Taylor, out of a love for hot rods and the desire to do all of his own custom metal work. Taylor had a background in tool and die work and has had an appreciation for the trade for most of his life, which was passed along to both his children Tim and Steve. Beginning in Enon, Ohio out of a 1,500 square foot facility, as just a father and his boys tinkering around with an old knee mill and a lathe, it wasn’t long before making metal chips in the big building behind Eugene’s house had become a full time job for all three of them. So the evolution of EST Tool & Machine, Inc. Due to being shot down after trying to get some land they had purchased, zoned commercial, the men moved our business in 1996, to a 20,000 square foot facility located in Springfield, Ohio, and began growing the business. As Tim started to venture further down down in to Kentucky, looking for business, he conveyed to both his father and brother that relocating to central Kentucky would allow for shorter lead times, ultimately bettering the business. In January of 1999 all 3 men packed up their wives and children and moved to our current location in the quaint little town of Brodhead, Kentucky, operating out of a 48,000 square foot facility. A lot of things have changed over the years, the company is almost 50 times the size it was when it started and the technology in our facility has grown with the times. Sadly, we lost Tim in October of 2013, however his legacy lives on through Eugene, Steve, and a third generation of the family . The one thing that hasn’t changed, though is our commitment to price, quality, and delivery. We take pride in the fact that every part we ship to you comes with the Taylor Guarantee.
