we were lured away from fishing…

Kenowa Industries was born in 1979. Originally, we catered to the fishing industry by developing and producing the “Northport Nailer” fishing lure, an industry standard. By 1983 however, our business had grown to include metal fabrication, stamping, and machining. As we continued to grow, Kenowa needed more space so we moved to our current location in Holland, Michigan in 1991. We started with 15,000 square feet and then added an additional 20,000 square feet in 1999. In 2015 we added an additional 15,000 square feet giving us over 50,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space at our Holland location. We don’t make fishing lures anymore, but we have plenty of capacity to “land” your manufacturing needs.
