History of Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Inc. first started in Lake Mills, Wisconsin in 1973.  Original owners George and Marilyn Lohman opened Chapter 2 as a tool and die shop that specialized in the making of jigs, fixtures, dies, molds, and machine tools for companies within the manufacturing industry.  This was the basis of the companies operations until Mr. and Mrs. Lohman sold the company to Tim and Tracy Johnston, the current owners, in 1989. 

After taking over company operations  Mr. and Mrs. Johnston added a new dimension to Chapter 2's services in offering automation machine design and build services.  Here the company specialized in building automated machines and equipment for companies in the manufacturing industry. 

In 1996 Chapter 2 once again added to its diverse selection of services by implementing the ability to do high volume production machining.  Today, production machining stands as Chapter 2's core competency.  As a climate controlled facility and with our continuous investment in equipment and our quality processes Chapter 2 has become an industry leader in these services.  

To compliment Chapter 2's ability to provide high precision machining, in 2005, Chapter 2 began to invest in its ability to provide product component assemblies for many of its customers taking advantage of its machining services.  Today, Chapter 2 strives in its ability to machine, source, assemble and monitor assembly projects ranging anywhere from a few components to hundreds.

Though Chapter 2 has moved and added to its main focuses of business throughout the years we still offer the services that Chapter 2 was founded upon.  We offer a full service tool room with journeymen tool makers working around the clock to cater to our customers needs. When it comes to jigs, fixtures, dies and molds as well as machined tools and maintenance work you will find no one better.
