Steve Peplin, John Talan, and Rich Peplin collaborated to create a manufacturing company in 1986 with a $2,100 investment. They had no manufacturing equipment but landed a customer, contracted out production, and shipped parts. Upon landing their second customer in the next year, 1987, they purchased a Niagara punch press machine. The company started out on Chatfield Ave. in the neighborhood of West Park, Cleveland and moved to Cleveland's Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood in 1991. In 2006 the company moved into a building formerly occupied by TRW Inc. in Cleveland's Collinwood Neighborhood. Each relocation is within the city of Cleveland's urban manufacturing areas and was facilitated by growth. Pete Accorti joined the company as a partner in 1988. John Talan and Rich Peplin left the company in 1996. Talan Products manufactures component parts for medium and large OEM companies across many industries.
