Kellett Enterprises began as Loom Products Company in 1960 to manufacture and distribute textile machinery, accessories, and supplies. Louise C. Kellett founded the company. She maintained her title as president until 2004.
In 1989, the name changed to Kellett Enterprises, Inc., to symbolize the same management and ownership that has led the organization since day one.
The company has been woman owned and family operated from the beginning.
Kellett owns and operates a building comprising of 16,000 sq. feet of manufacturing and office space in Greenville.
In the late1960s, Kellett developed and patented the LP-13 Shake Absorber® Vibration Isolation Pad, which today is still sold globally and recommended by many of today's large weaving machinery and other equipment manufacturers.
The LP-13 Pad was the first three-layer shake absorber patented in the United States. Today, it is the most widely acclaimed vibration isolation pad in the world, as it effectively absorbs vibration and noise that causes excessive wear and downtime.
