Alemite and the Stewart Warner factory in Chicago Damon Crowe June 30, 2020 A look back; In 1924 Stewart Warner acquired the Alemite Corp. and moved them into their ever growing complex in Chicago. View fullsize In the 1950’s they had 6000 employees at this Stewart Warner location alone. The Lubrication division was located in the basement area. View fullsize In 1994 the plant at the Diversey Parkway was demolished after portions of the company were sold off and others moved their operations to Mexico. Just before the demo, a group was sent in to salvage and one of them left with this unique narrow Alemite service cabinet. View fullsize I am intrigued that they still had 1950’s cabinets in use up into the 90’s.
