Our Journey

 

Founded in 1945 by Harvey Chalfant, Chalfant Manufacturing began as a small operation producing
awnings, door seals, and wicker furniture. Facing challenges in the early years, it was Harvey's son,
Tom, whose innovation and determination transformed the company. Tom introduced the aluminum cable tray, a pioneering product that revolutionized wire and cable management in manufacturing plants. This innovation marked the beginning of Chalfant Manufacturing's journey towards becoming a leader in cable management solutions.
In the 1970s, with the addition of the talented engineer Earl Middleton, the company expanded its
product line, further establishing its footprint in the industry. The legacy of innovation and dedication was carried forward by Tom's children, leading to a division that allowed for specialized focus on cable tray solutions. In 2016, a new chapter began as Chalfant became a proud subsidiary of OBO Bettermann GmbH, further enhancing our capabilities and reach.
