Each decade has borne witness to the ever-changing wonder of what raw material can become with the help of the latest technology, skilled craftsmen, and enterprising leadership. Throughout the past 15 years, Larsen has continued to reinvest in the organization to support customer growth. We have focused our strategy on continually supporting innovation, efficiency, and quality while utilizing today’s finest manufacturing equipment and technology in conjunction with effective manufacturing processes and practices. Larsen has always concentrated on producing the highest quality, cost competitive precision metal products that exceed our customer’s expectations, and this legacy continues into the new millennium.
1946 Leonard Larsen, Sr. joins Algonquin Tool.
1950s Algonquin Tool enters the electronics world by manufacturing TV tuners and enclosures for companies such as Admiral Television. Algonquin Tool becomes Electro Metal Products Corporation.
1960s Leonard Larsen, Jr. joins Electro Metal Products while TV chassis and internal brackets become complementary to the company’s expertise in tuners and enclosures.
1970s As TV production slows, EMP diversifies into new markets to fuel the company’s continued growth. EMP enters into a partnership with Ertl toys to stamp metal parts for its toy trucks and cars.
1980s Growth in consumer electronics redirects Electro Metal Products attention back to consumer electronics with customers like Texas Instruments, RCA, and Compaq.
Product That Exceeds Customer Expectations
LARSEN MANUFACTURING
1990s Electro Metal Products’ range of expertise engages them with government labs. Electro Metal Products is sold. Dave and Denis, the grandsons of Leonard Larsen, Sr., open the all-new Larsen Manufacturing in Mundelein, Illinois, in 1999.
2000 80% of the prior company’s customer base comes back to the new Larsen, now owned and operated by Dave and Denis Larsen. Seeing the demand for quality metal stampings in the border region, Larsen responds by opening a second facility in El Paso, Texas. Larsen invests in their Mundelein tooling capabilities in preparation for continued growth.
2005 Larsen expansion continues and Dave and Denis Larsen set up a strategic location in El Paso, Texas, to accommodate and support customers within the Mexico border region.
2010 Larsen moves its corporate office and headquarters to a new 60,000 square-foot facility in Mundelein, Illinois, as growth continues. Precision Metal Fabrication and WAND PCB Depaneling are added to the Larsen breadth of services offerings. Within this time frame Larsen also grows its global presence as the team creates a joint venture in Hong Kong, China, to better support Larsen customers in Asia.
2013 The Specialty Fabrication and Machining Group is added to the Larsen service offering, and 20,000 additional square feet are added onto the headquarters in Mundelein, Illinois.
2014 Larsen Manufacturing celebrates its 15th year in business. Larsen continues to grow, fueled by innovation, quality products, insight, and a continuous commitment to Product That Exceeds Customer Expectations.

10 WAND PCB Board Depaneling
WAND PCB Deplaneling maximizes the reliability of your manufacturing.
The WAND Depaneling System, a Larsen Manufacturing Business
Unit, designs and builds today’s most elite depaneling equipment for the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) industry. By greatly reducing and eliminating any stress or flex during the separation process of multiple-populated PCBs, the WAND Depaneling System safeguards against fractured joints and excess burrs, and leaves disjointed arrays quickly and cleanly separated. The WAND System is perfectly suited to accommodate medium to high volume PCB separation needs. The WAND Depaneling Singulation Process is capable of punching individual or multiple populated PCB Board panels within any specified working area in a total cycle time of less than 12 seconds!
• Tooling Change: inherent in the design of the press, product changeover is complete in under three minutes.
• Wand Depaneling Press features: air/oil power pack; quick-change clamping; die package; storage elevator (optional); air logic control; fully enclosed structure; 1½” maximum component height including board thickness.
• Safety: optical touch controls; completely guarded cutting area; two anti-repeat / anti-tie downs; built-in safety light curtains; package positioning sensors; four pneumatic clamps.
• Automated Capabilities also available to accommodate medium to high volume PCB board separation needs.
A The WAND PBC Depaneling System offers a solid Return On Investment compared to other methods of separation, by providing no damage to the board or its delicate components.
B With a remarkable cycle time of just 12 seconds, WAND has become the leader in the PCB depaneling process industry.
C As always, safety and quality are a number one priority for Larsen and the TQM (Total Quality Management) teams, ensured through careful production, control checks, and mechanisms within the WAND system.

Larsen knows how to bring
considerable benefit
and value by optimizing
design efficiencies early
in the design stages of
production, and considers
successful production to
begin with our engineering
experts getting involved
early and often with our
customers initial design

File formats accepted: AutoCAD, Pro-E, SolidWorks, IGES, STEP, MasterCAM, BobCAD, PDF, and a variety of other image formats.
Value Added, Value Engineering (VAVE) is an innovative way to reduce production and material costs within the engineering of a product or design. Larsen’s Early Supplier Involvement (ESI) allows us to understand the common objectives, deliverables, and requirements of a customer’s project before any design and/or developmental resources have been allocated. From there Larsen’s expert engineers are able to recommend manufacturing processes (whether precision metal stamping or metal fabrication) that:• Implement the latest design
techniques and features to drive down material costs embedded into the product by reviewing: material type, nesting, thickness, structural ribs, forms, and gussets..
• Optimize tooling and lower piece part costs through in-die automation, material utilization, and progressive tooling, all of which can reduce and/or even eliminate secondary operations as well as labor.
• Eliminate hardware and recommend alternative fastening options, such as: extrusions, rollovers, toggles, and slots & tabs.
• Account for the product life cycle to reduce up-front tooling costs, as well as account for precise dimensioning of a part, its application considerations, critical dimensions, and features.
Larsen Manufacturing’s comprehensive capabilities, processes, and approach to doing business provide considerable value to our customers. There are a wide range of additional services that we offer as part of an overall solution that can improve the production process and/or final production of your product.
Additional ServicesLarsen’s full-service capabilities enable us to provide you with a single-source alternative that minimizes lead time and costs. We do this through a variety of secondary operations including:• Automated Assembly Cell
