Our story begins with a husband and wife born far apart in Europe.
Wilhelm Früh was raised by his mother in a small town along the Neckar River in Germany. He completed a tool and die apprenticeship then headed to the United States. Fortunately he brought his accordion with him. He played it for the immigration authorities before they’d let him stay.
Elsbeth Kulik, the youngest of six, grew up in what is now Szczytno, Poland. At the end of WWII, she spent time in a Red Cross orphanage. Then, when she turned 18, her family caught behind the Berlin Wall, she left for America. She worked as a nanny, learned English and fell in love with her adopted country.
Wilhelm and Elsbeth found each other in Hillside, New Jersey, then moved west to Arizona. Accurate Products Company came to life in the evenings between dinner and dessert, the whole family assembling parts.
The company soon had its own home in a diverse neighborhood called Binghamton, in Tucson. The area is now home to a Mormon church and the Jewish Community Center, furniture stores and art galleries.
Wilhelm headed the engineering side of the business while Elsbeth handled administration. Slowly but surely, Accurate Products grew, guided by its founders’ values. Do the right thing. Do what you say. Do more for less.
Today, Evaero is managed by an experienced team backed by an external board of advisors. The philosophy, however, remains the same.
