The
door was designed and engineered
by the R. L. Kuss Corporation.
They received their first
purchase order in 1964 with the
installation taking place in
1965. They received seven
orders for doors that first
year.
Over
the years they grew in
popularity. Then they developed
a spin-off company from the Kuss
Corp. which was named DLM
Plastics. DLM Plastics then
took over the manufacturing of
the Para-Port Door line.
In
1997 Machine Tool & Fabrication
Inc. purchased the line from DLM
Plastics and continued to
service customers. Quite
interestingly, all through the
years, Machine Tool &
Fabrication was the company that
built and fabricated the
mechanical components that went
into all of these doors.
In
2007 Machine Tool & Fab Corp.
purchased Machine Tool &
Fabrication Inc. along with the
Para-Port Door line. They began
working on new literature and a
new website which is bringing
Para-Port into the digital age.
