The Littleton company caters to filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan.
Early on June 26, 1944,Wholesale Hardware and Tinners Supply, at 3500 Walnut Street, burst into flames. The fire started in the paint department sometime after a night watchman passed by at 6 a.m., and quickly spread. By the time the Denver Fire Department arrived on the scene a little before 7 a.m., the business was well on its way to being completely destroyed. Spectators watched as $50,000 worth of presses and machinery fell through the collapsing third floor.
"Today the company is still the industry leader in film reel manufacturing," says Rick Reid, Goldberg Brothers marketing communications manager,"but the market has become much smaller." After several moves, the company now resides in a quiet and leafy industrial park in Littleton.
Bolstered by the Kodak contract and several years of profitable government war work that saw Goldberg Brothers producing a wide variety of equipment for the United States Army, the firm rose from the flames of the 1944 disaster and continued to expand into a wide array of theater products.
The manufacturing process for classic hardware is an interesting mix of old and new. The most common item, aluminum flange reels, are sliced in pieces from sheet aluminum with a fiber-cutting laser, then assembled by hand. Much of the final work is still done the old-fashioned fun way: by bashing it with a hammer.
