Legacy
Our story starts with George Kim, a pioneer in the making of precision diamond tooling. George spent nearly a decade working as an engineer and manager at RCA Corporation, focusing on diamond stylus
development for the RCA SelectaVision VideoDisc
project. Having learned the difficulties of faceting diamonds abrasively, George recognized that one
of the processes developed at RCA would offer a technological advancement in diamond tool manufacturing. He was able to acquire a license to
utilize RCA’s patented technology for chemically machining diamond,
and in1983 George and his wife, Vada,
founded Edge Technologies, Inc. (ETI).
1983
Edge Technologies Incorporated is founded by George Kim. George's wife, Vada joins ETI
Since its inception, Edge Technologies has been a small family business that takes great pride in excellence. George and Vada have been retired for years, but ETI remains a family business with their daughter, Stephanie, and her husband, Andy, running the shop.
​
Their son, Kieran, joined the team after some time in the U.S. Navy, adding a third generation of family to the company. Shortly thereafter, Kieran's wife, Emma, was hired on. When Andy and Stephanie's daughter, Keely got out of the Navy and moved back home to Indiana, her spouse, Quinn, joined the company. A short two years later, Keely hired into Edge, rounding out the ETI team.
ETI has continued to improve its tool-making technology since 1983 and remains a respected leader in precision diamond tool manufacturing.
