With roots tracing back to 1911, our Shelby, North Carolina facility has been a cornerstone of innovation in advanced component manufacturing for over a century. Originally founded as FAS Controls and later known as Kendrion, this site has grown and evolved into what is now Solero Technologies Shelby, LLC.
