About Us

In 1976, Setters Tools, Inc., began operations from the garage of its founders, Frederick and Janelle Goff. Fred set out to patent a Spiral Cage Feed Finger he developed from over thirty years of experience in the screw machine industry. From that 2-car garage, Setters expanded to a 2500-square-foot block building in 1980, and added an additional 2000 square feet in 1984. In 1989, Setters Tools expanded once again to their present location, a 10,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Piedmont, South Carolina. The founders' son, Michael Goff, took over daily operations in 1987 with a continued focus on providing the highest quality products possible at a reasonable cost. Today, every customer interaction is guided by the mission statement set forth by Fred and Janelle Goff nearly forty years ago.
