Congressman Kean Visits Triad Tool with NJMEP

(October 28, 2026) BRANCHBURG, NJ – Last week, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) visited Triad Tool Company Inc. with the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program to meet members of the company’s leadership team and learn about its manufacturing operations.  

Triad Tool is a family-owned contract manufacturer founded in 1933, specializing in close-tolerance Computer Numerical Control (CNC) precision machining. Now under fourth-generation leadership, the company provides CNC machining and turning, wire EDM, abrasive waterjet, inspection, and build-to-print subassembly services. They serve commercial and military aviation, power generation, and telecommunications customers, including NASA, Raytheon, SpaceX, and RTX.

“New Jersey has the talent, ingenuity, and industrial expertise to lead the next generation of American manufacturing, and companies like Triad Tool are proving it every day,” said Congressman Kean. “Our responsibility in Congress is to ensure that businesses like these have the tools to compete and grow. That means strengthening domestic supply chains, expanding access to skilled workforce training, and advancing commonsense policies that encourage innovation and private investment.”

Kean continued, “Triad Tool’s longstanding commitment to New Jersey and its workforce underscores what’s at stake: protecting good-paying American jobs, creating opportunities for the next generation, and ensuring the United States remains a global leader in advanced manufacturing.”

“The New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NJMEP) applauds Rep Tom Kean Jr. for supporting New Jersey Manufacturers,” said Judith Fleischer, Special Projects at New Jersey Manufacturers Extension Program, Inc. “He has visited numerous companies over the last few years and most recently, Magna-Power Electronics and Triad Tool. NJMEP thanks him for this effort.”

“Triad Tool was honored to welcome Congressman Tom Kean Jr. and the NJMEP team to our facility,” said Triad Tool CEO John Staudinger. “For many years, NJMEP training grants have helped us recruit and train young people for highly skilled careers manufacturing critical components for America’s aerospace and defense industries. Congressman Kean’s support for strong national defense investment and well-targeted tariffs that level the playing field for American manufacturers is important to bringing work home, protecting our industrial base, and creating good-paying jobs here in New Jersey”

Staudinger continued, “We appreciate his taking the time to meet our team, see our capabilities firsthand, and support our efforts to retain and grow this 93-year-old New Jersey manufacturing company.”
