Broomfield Laboratories, was started in 1948 by John Broomfield. As a young man, John had worked for Thomas Edison in New Jersey. After working in the Edison Laboratories and having a similar inventor's logical mind, John started his own company as a design and manufacturing laboratory in a small rural town in central Massachusetts in the United States. During the initial 30+ years of its existence, the company worked on various repair, manufacturing and machining projects for customers in differing industries. Several coil winding machine manufacturers sent their machinery to Broomfield Laboratories to have special modifications and tooling made. Thomas, one of John's sons, felt that establishing a standard product line would provide greater longevity and a more stable income for their employees. Sensing a need for improvement in the winding equipment at that time, Broomfield embarked on a complete design and marketing change.
