Our History
Arklay Richards was a young ambitious engineer in 1938. He was confident he could manufacture superior quality thermocouples and related supplies at a significant cost savings to the industrial temperature sensor consumer. The same year Arklay turned this idea into reality and the Arklay S. Richards Co., Inc. was founded.
The manufacturing company began from humble beginnings. Arklay compiled thermocouple sales by day, the manufacturing, testing, and packaging by night. The following day orders would also ship to customers. Superior customer service was a top priority. In fact, in these early days, the entire operation ran within the basement of Arklay’s home.
