The Kilroy Company was founded by Edward A Kilroy Sr. in 1918. Well recognized throughout the Midwest, the Kilroys built their reputation on commercial building steel erection and fabrication. The company diversified from 1950-1970 into oil and gas exploration, as well as other manufacturing enterprises including machining, plastics and venture capital. The Kilroy Company gradually divested of it’s historic holdings and re-focused the company’s efforts on manufacturing, effectively launching the third generation of leadership. In 1995, William S. Kilroy II assumed the positions of Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Kilroy Company from his father Ted Kilroy. Under his leadership, Bill acquired businesses in the aerospace, power generation and medical implant device manufacturing markets. |
