Description:
WE ARE A FAMILY OWNED COMPANY.
In 2018, the Nosek and Scheyer families joined together to form a new company – Keson LLC. Keson and SOLA are both family-owned, third generation companies currently led by the grandsons of the company founders. Keson started in 1968 in the basement of the Nosek family home in Berwyn, Illinois. SOLA started in 1949 with a leveling tool invented on the roof of the Scheyer family home in Goetzis, Austria. Both companies are leaders in measuring and marking tools, offer complementary product lines, and share very similar values. With a combined 120 years of market experience, Keson LLC builds upon Keson’s U.S. manufacturing, existing distribution network and strong relationships by adding SOLA’s European manufacturing expertise, precision engineering and industry-leading technology.
Keson is headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, and is well known in North America for providing reliable, innovative, and easy-to-use measuring and marking products to professional tradespeople who are passionate about their work. SOLA is headquartered in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the shadow of the Austrian Alps and is a market leader in spirit and screeding levels in 30 countries around the world. Now united, and operating from Aurora, Keson LLC will provide the outstanding products and service that will continue us to earn and keep the trust of tradespeople and of those who supply them with the tools they need.
WE ARE AN AMERICAN MANUFACTURER.
We make and supply the highest quality measuring and marking products. We design them for use and occasional abuse (accidental, of course) for professional tradespeople. What’s more, we’re growing as a manufacturer. Currently, over 50% of our sales consist of products we make right here in the USA. Every year, that percentage is growing. We’re proud of that, and of the fact that the Keson name has meant quality for almost 50 years.
WE MAKE LEVELS.
Our alliance with SOLA gives us direct access to the world’s best levels. Keson has two brands in North American that will deliver levels with superior durability, unparalleled accuracy, and a better experience for the user.
The SOLA-branded levels are positioned at the high-end of the market and will be the best-of-the-best, just as SOLA levels have been in Europe and around the world for the last 70 years.
The Keson-branded levels are the best of the mid-tier priced levels with SOLA technology, backed by the reputation Keson has built over the last 50 years.
