The HELI-CAL® Flexible Coupling was conceived in 1958 when George Sabadash developed the concept and method of producing the HELI-CAL Flexure as a single piece flexible coupling. After receiving a strong response from a news release, George realized he had created a useful and needed product. Charlie Romero designed a machine to produce the new HELI-CAL Flexure, and shortly thereafter Charles Merrell joined with George and Charlie to build a company to manufacture and market this new and unique product. Chuck also developed the basic organization from which the company was able to grow.
