AMAX Manufacturing is Newly Arrived in Benton County

AMAX Manufacturing has been in the plastic injection molding and blacksmith businesses since the 1950s. It is run by Adam and Candice Kantor, husband-and-wife co-owners who moved here two years ago and are proud to carry the family legacy into Foley. Adam’s grandfather started the business as a blacksmith shop, and more than 70 years later, production under the third generation is going strong.
