RDR Industries Timeline

1960s:

Company began and established as COINMECO Little Falls. John Rushton transitioned from Stellar Industries where he held draftsman and management roles over the course of a decade.

1970s:

COINMECO became RDR Industries in 1976, at which point they moved to Mohawk from Little Falls, and began supporting the Mohawk Valley computer industry while working with MDS, Univac, Cogar Corp., and IBM.

1980s:

RDR Industries continued their support for the computing industry while beginning to expand in terms of staff, equipment, and technology. It was at the time that they began to look into other industries to branch out to.

1990s:

RDR Industries transitioned from the computer industry to servicing the electronics, healthcare, and aviation industries. Current RDR President Mark Rushton joined the company in 1998.

2000s:

RDR Industries continued to add new equipment including Mitsubishi CNC Laser Cutting and an Amada programmable Press Brake.  Also, adding powder coating equipment allowed us to expand our finishing capabilities.

2010s:

Continuing with our vision of being a value-added supplier, in 2015 RDR added Robert Sheets to its design staff.  Robert brings over 20 years of design and development engineering experience in various fields including automation, automotive and industrial.

In 2017 RDR invested in a Amada LCG-3015-AJ fiber laser cutter, expanding our laser cutting capabilities. With the fiber laser, not only can we cut faster and more accurately, we can cut materials that the CO2 laser cannot cut, like Brass, Copper and Titanium.
