Larsen’s Manufacturing Company began in the 1930s as a sheet metal job shop in
Northeast Minneapolis. The company was founded by Walter Larsen, who came to
the United States from Denmark.
When Walter Larsen retired in 1958, he sold the company to his close friend Bill
Fudge. The company remained a job shop, but Bill Fudge had a new goal for the
company. He envisioned the development of a product line belonging to Larsen’s,
rather than simply making parts and pieces for other companies to use in their
products. In the early 1960s, Bill saw an opportunity to achieve his goal. He became
aware of the existence of the market for cabinets that housed various types of fire
protection and safety equipment. The Fire Extinguisher Cabinets in particular had
traditionally been “heavy gauge hulks of steel painted grey, plugging a hole in the
wall.”
In 2016, Larsen’s Manufacturing became a member of Morris Group International.
As Larsen’s looks beyond our 60th year in business, we will continue our tradition of quality craftsmanship backed by the resources of our new parent company.
In 2016, Larsen’s Manufacturing Company became a division of Morris Group International. Combining the strength of Morris Group International with the quality of the Larsen’s product will strengthen our company while we continue to offer the same Larsen’s quality our customers have come to expect from our products.
