Milestones

Where it all began

The Christopher Stephen Corporation was founded with a single vision: build machines that work. We started small, with a team of engineers who believed precision mattered more than shortcuts.

1984

The beginning

A handful of engineers and a commitment to quality. We built our first custom automation system for a regional manufacturer and never looked back.

1998

Expansion era

We doubled our facility and our team. Demand for our work grew faster than we could build, so we invested in better equipment and better people.

2010

Robotic systems

We integrated robotic systems into our portfolio, bringing automation to industries that had never seen it before. The work got more complex. So did our solutions.

2024

Still building

Four decades in, and we're still doing what we started doing: building machines that last, solving problems that matter, and treating every client like a partner.

The numbers that matter

Four decades of building equipment that works. Hundreds of installations across industries. Systems still running strong.
