Stanley Industries, Inc. was founded by Mr. Stanley I. Busch in Elyria, Ohio, in 1945.The company was originally called the Gerell Mfg. Company, and made buffing compounds. In 1948 Gerell moved to Cleveland's east side at East 40th & St. Clair and opened a small barrel finishing job shop.
In 1953, Gerell Mfg. moved again, to Sweeney Avenue, where the operation was expanded. In 1955 the company was incorporated as the Stanley Supply Co. and vibratory finishing equipment was added to the shop. In 1961 the Stanley Supply Co. was introduced to the "Sweco" Round Bowl Finishing Machine which it began to use, and to sell, and the company began to grow very rapidly. In 1964 the Cranwood Parkway building was completed and the company name was changed to Stanley Industries, Inc..

Mr. Larry Siko became Plant Manager in 1967. Around that time, the company became both a service company and a sales and distribution company, for deburring machinery, media and compounds. Larry eventually became President in 1989. He retired in 2003.

Jay Cusick, our current President, joined the company in 1974, at which time, it was decided that Stanley Industries would seek out new and more highly technical markets related to our core industry of mass finishing.
Several strategic alliances were formed with machine tool builders in the ensuing years and that list of partners has grown and evolved to include the best of the best in vibratory mills (Sweco), industrial parts washing equipment (JenFab) and pneumatic blasting systems (Empire), as well as all other related technologies and supplies that have made Stanley Industries an industry leader in mass finishing technologies.

Stanley Busch retired from active involvement with the company in 1989, at which time, Larry Siko and Jay Cusick became partners. Since that time the company has enjoyed steady growth, thanks in no small part, to the efforts of Tom Bossman and Ron Lozon, our sales engineers, Rod Koberna, our plant manager, Winny Markovitz our Office Manager and Jean Gordon, our inside sales specialist.

Larry is now retired but the rest of us at Stanley Industries, along with our various partners, are constantly looking for new and better ways to improve the services and the products we bring to our customers. In this way we hope to continue our record of excellence well into this millennium.
