Not entirely certain, but think we toured that factory when on a TDY to Wright Patterson AFB to have a custom flight helmet made in the early 70s. They did measurements in the morning then I had to come back in 4 hours for the final fitting. We did a factory tour of a metal fabrication company during that break because it was close and I recall them saying the founder was from Haiti.
