Waggoner Manufacturing, Inc began as a garage-based support business for Eaton Corporations newly established Austin facility. Pat Waggoner, a pioneer in the Austin semiconductor industry, began the business in 1979 to provide an efficient source for repairs and service for Eatons growing customer base. At the time his only employees were his wife and his son. Becoming an expert at servicing components such as Accelerator Columns, Source Insulators, Ion Power Supplies, and other ion implanter components, the business quickly outgrew his garage. Resigning from his day job at Eaton, Pat moved the young company to its own facility and renamed it L.G. Electronics. At that time, Pat purchased several manual machines and a single Mazak CNC mill. L.G. Electronics incorporated in 2000 and was renamed Waggoner Manufacturing to honor its founder and leader. Today Waggoner Manufacturing, Inc employees 25 highly skilled machinists, technicians, and office personnel. And even though Eaton ( now called Axcelis ) has long since left Austin for Massachusetts we are still the companys primary source for service work on Accelerator Columns and Source Insulators. But weve since shifted our focus from service to machining and have succeeded in becoming a true modern machine shop over the years. We have become experts on designing and manufacturing small to medium sized stainless steel, aluminum, and machined plastic parts and components.
