Perko, Inc. Trade name: PERKO. Established in 1907, Perko is a privately owned manufacturer of marine navigation lights, hardware and accessories. [1] [2] They are a vertically integrated manufacturer located in Miami, Florida, making close to 1000 different products. [3] Their products are made domestically in the USA.
In 1874 Fred Persky (who later changed his name to Frederick Perkins), the company's founder, was born in Russia. He was educated as a machinist in Germany. He arrived to the United States at 15 years old and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1889. [4][ non-primary source needed] The business began as a tool and die manufacturer. The original firm name was F. Persky & Company which was located at 49 Elizabeth Street in New York City. [1]
By 1912, F. Persky & Company, H.A.J. Helvig & Company and American Lamp Works merged to become the National Marine Lamp Company headquartered at 23 Brook Street in Forestville, Connecticut. This was the former location of the burner manufacturing division of the Bristol Brass Company [5][ unreliable source?]. They also maintained a sales office in New York City. [6]
In 1913 Frederick relocated to Connecticut and F. Persky & Company stopped independent operations. In the same year Frederick was recognized as the president of National Marine Lamp Company. Frederick continued to be president of the company until 1916. National Marine Lamp Company operated until 1930 until they declared bankruptcy and the structures were demolished down by 1932. [6]
Frederick relocated to Brooklyn, New York in 1916 after leaving the National Marine Lamp Corp and established Perkins Marine Lamp Company in 1917. The business ran its operations out of its Brooklyn, New York, site (1943 Pitkin Ave) until 1959. [1] The original facility was a three-story building, the top two levels of which were rented to separate businesses.
When World War I started Frederick began making navigation lights for the US Navy. Navigation lights were produced for torpedo, battleship and destroyer class boats. Lanterns were also produced for the US Navy that included wax burning lanterns, deck lanterns and telegraph signal lanterns. [7]
The PERKO trademark first appeared in 1922. Perko became a full-time manufacturer of marine lighting, hardware, and accessories for the recreational boating industry during the 1930s. The firm expanded, necessitating the need for more facilities. The original one-story industrial facility in Brooklyn expanded to five floors. Six additional buildings were then developed. Perkins Marine Lamp & Hardware Corporation became the company's official name in 1932, replacing Perkins Marine Lamp Company. [1]
Frederick's son Louis Perkins became president in 1947, upon the passing of his father. [1] It was in that year that his son Marvin [8] [9] joined the firm.
In 1960, the company moved to Miami, Florida [10][ non-primary source needed] which allowed all manufacturing to take place in one building. [1] Leroy F. (Roy) Hollenbeck, who joined Perko in 1959 [11], assisted in coordinating the layout and supervision of the new plant construction. Louis Perkins passed away 1964 and his son Marvin [8] [9] became president. Marvin's eldest son, Frederick M. Perkins (named after founder Frederick Perkins), joined the company in 1969 [1] and later became the president of Perko in 1997. In 1976 it was decided to change the company name to Perko, Incorporated. [1]
