1997
After the introduction of Robo Quilter to the market in October of 1997, sales soared, and another move was required. The new facility in Elk Grove Village, Illinois provided more space, which allowed for the assembly of up to 500 machines per year.
1995
In 1995 ABM began the development of a revolutionary new vertical quilting machine called the "Robo Quilter" - the first of its kind.
1980
During the late 1980's ABM expanded into computer technology and was looking for an influx of energy and new ideas. Michael’s son Neal began working for the company. Together they developed a computerized quilting machine named the XL, expanded sales and marketing efforts overseas, changed the name to ABM International, Inc., and moved to a larger facility in Niles, Illinois.
1960
By 1960 ABM needed more manufacturing space, it was time to move again - this time to a location on Chicago's west side. However, with Arthur's untimely death, Barry and Michael assumed full responsibility of the company and its continued growth.
1950
In the early 1950's the family basement became too small, so ABM moved to a three-story building on the south side of Chicago. It was during this time that Arthur's sons Barry and Michael got involved in the business, working to expand the types of equipment manufactured while simultaneously servicing more markets.
1947
In 1947 in his garage in Chicago, Illinois Arthur Schwarzberger developed a simple sewing concept for quilting machines that could cross over sewing lines. Arthur refined his concept and began manufacturing mechanical track quilting machines for the comforter, bedspread, and mattress markets. Sales started to grow, and the small company named ABM Industries began to expand.
