The Union Tool Corporation proudly celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2014. Started by Karl J. Heinzelman, Union Tool is a family-owned business. Co-presidents Chuck Simpson and Mike Simpson represent the third generation, while the fourth generation started in October when Chas Simpson joined the company after earning an MBA from Ball State University and working several years in the Indianapolis area. “Not many family businesses make it three generations and we’re proud we did,” said Chuck Simpson, Co-President of Union Tool, “And now that we are bringing in a fourth generation? That’s pretty rare. We’re looking forward to keeping their tradition alive long into the future.”
