Careers at Peterson Spring

COMPANY OVERVIEW The story of Peterson Spring begins in the 1880’s with the immigration of a young Norwegian blacksmith to America. August Christian Peterson studied blacksmithing in the early 1900’s – the trade of choice for early spring makers. He managed various plants in the Midwest before founding his own company in 1914. August moved his family to Detroit. There, he launched his vision to meet a lion’s share of the demand for springs within the railroad and automobile industry. After 8th grade, Alfred (the eldest son of August Peterson) left school to work with his father in the steel mills. As a team, August and his children generated enough income to launch and expand the family business. THE OPPORTUNITY Today, Peterson American Corporation continues to be an industry leader that rewards hard work, integrity, and operational excellence. Thirteen facilities world-wide – including the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Mexico – offer a unique global opportunity for new talent in Metallurgy, Engineering, Quality Control, and Production. Discipline is a requirement to join this team. Every position is highly visible and each team member adds value with every decision.
