Sargent Manufacturing
Manufacturing Company in New Haven, CT
In 1810, the Sargent family entered the hardware business, beginning the trail that eventually led to the present SARGENT Manufacturing Company. Joseph Bradford Sargent and his two brothers operated a wholesale hardware business in New York City, and subsequently obtained an interest in one of their suppliers, the Peck and Walter Manufacturing Company of New Britain, CT. This firm was the predecessor to the present SARGENT Manufacturing Company.
