Company History

In 1967, the original founders retired, and the company was continued by its new owners, Henry Tyrakowski (brother of one of the founders), Alex Tiffy, and William Manderfeld. Taylor Spring continued its tradition of excellence and supplied inductor coils to the television tuner market as well as the emerging cable television industry, as these inductors would be used as filters and traps that allowed the cable companies to selectively allow only the stations that the customer paid for to be delivered to their home.

In 1988, Henry’s partners retired, and he became the sole shareholder. Over the next decade, the next generation started becoming an integral part of the business, with John Tyrakowski becoming President and Steve Tyrakowski handling the administration and financial side of the company.

Around 2000, with signs that the copper coil business would shrink with the changes from analog to digital in the cable and television industries, Taylor Spring acquired J & J Spring from its retiring owner. This small step started a new direction to begin diversification into the steel spring industry.

In 2002, Taylor Spring explored further diversification by merging with its primary wire supplier, Fay Electric Wire. After several years as a combined entity, in November 2007, the principals from the Fay Electric Wire business spun off the wire business as a separate company again. Both companies emerged stronger than when they merged in 2002.

After operating out of two buildings for many years, the time had come to consolidate into one more efficient location, which would allow us the required space to scale up. This reduced our operating expenses while enabling us to increase efficiencies across our facility.
