Franklin Automation Inc. was founded in 1990 by Frank M. Kigyos Sr.; after a long and successful career with the Anchor Brush Company of Aurora Illinois, where he was employed as Plant Manager of the Company's Technical Center.

The company was founded on the idea of companies and people being able to come and ask for a machine that would automate the manufacturing process. Custom engineering takes a well versed and communicated team effort to insure that the project experience is transparent and runs flawlessly.

Today, Franklin Automation Inc. is a world class machine builder/integrator specialized in the design and manufacture of custom assembly machines for various industries including medical, dental, automotive, cosmetic and more. In house capabilities include machine design, parts fabrication, machine assembly, PLC programming, electrical and pneumatic assembly.

To continue its growth, Franklin Automation Inc. joined the Neyret Group in 2021.
