History

In the back room of the Denver Hardware Store in 1958, Paul Witwer, Walter Cubberly and Floyd Witwer agreed to start a wire business. Over the years and decades that followed, they saw the single room in the hardware store grow to include five manufacturing locations, an inventory warehouse, and a conference center that employed over 700 associates, and had annual sales approaching $300mm.

The men partnered in other endeavors over the years as well to create strategically and vertically integrated brands and businesses to compliment the Kalas portfolio. Throughout their periods of growth, they never lost sight of their initial vision of delivering quality products to valued customers, whether down the street, or across the globe.

Our entrepreneurial spirit, inherent desire to create opportunities for associates and passion to foster mutually beneficial partnerships with our customers sets Kalas apart and has created the strong foundation for our past, current and future success.
