The Union Tool Corp. celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2014. Started by Karl J. Heinzelman, Union Tool is a family-owned business. Co-presidents Chuck and Mike Simpson represent the third generation, while the fourth generation started in October when Chas Simpson joined the company after earning a master of business administration degree 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, in the company’s announcement. “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.” Union Tool manufactures automated machines and equipment to handle and process flat sheets, boards and panels made of wood, metal, glass, plastic, fiber, foam and other materials in a conveyorized processing line.
