About Us
We Began in 1857...
Adams & Westlake was founded in 1857 in Chicago, Illinois. In the beginning, our company began manufacturing and selling railroad supplies and hardware. With the opening of the American West and expansion of the railroads, the company prospered and diversified. Within 45 years, Adlake became one of the largest suppliers of equipment to the transportation industry in the world.
In 1927, Adlake relocated to its present site in Elkhart, Indiana. Through the years, we have produced many products for the transportation industry. We have and continue to manufacture products such as, luggage racks, diaphragms, sunvisors, curtains, current collector equipment, lanterns, lamps, locks, keys, door hardware, windows, thrust bearings, safety chains and gates and other products too numerous to mention. Some of our valued customers include General Motors, AM General, Amtrak, Alstom, Bombardier, Kawasaki and Nippon Sharyo.
Our present operations serve the needs of today and the dreams of tomorrow. We invite you to browse through our site and discover how we can better serve you!
