It was started in the back of a bakery in Coney Island, NY. When the company started its focus was commercial grade element and the original design was a locked, slanted fin, hence the name Slant/Fin. One of Mel’s favorite stories is about how small the original work area was. When they were making 10 foot element they had to manufacture half the element at a time, then open the back door to turn it around to finish.
