In 1980, gunsmith Gene Trexler came up with a revolutionary bolt-on magazine conversion for bolt-action rifles called the Kwik Klip. After acquiring a few machines, production of the Kwik Klip began under the corporate name Mag-Con, Inc.. The widely-received Kwik Klip garnered much praise from hunters and gunsmiths alike. As Kwik Klip grew in popularity, Gene began to receive various sheet metal and machining projects. As more work was acquired due to word of mouth of the great quality and capabilities, the company quickly grew to become one of the best and most-capable sheet metal fabrication shops in Eastern Pennsylvania. As one of the pioneer job shops of laser cutting on the East Coast, Trexler Industries remains one of the most knowledgable laser shops, with over 17 years of laser-cutting expertise.
