Allied-Locke Industries was found in 1965 as Allied Chains, Inc. The initial manufactured product was steel detachable chain for the agricultural market. In 1978 Allied Chains purchased Locke Steel Chain Co. of Indiana. Locke Steel Chain had been a manufacturer of agricultural chains since 1897. With the Lock acquisition, Allied Chains broadened it's offering and became one of the major producers of agricultural chains in the United States. In 1985 they expanded by adding a sprocket division which has grown to compliment all of the chain sizes now offered by the company. An additional acquisition in 1988 helped them to position themselves as one of the major suppliers of precision roller chain in the United States.
