The company is one of the oldest and largest companies in Waterloo Region.
Kuntz was a division of Magna International for 12 years (1978-1990).
The Kuntz Brewery was sued in 1929 for bootlegging to the United States for $200,000. The Brewery had to be sold and the leftover money was passed down to Oscar Kuntz where, 18 years later, he started building a new company for plating metal.
The company is now owned by the sons of Oscar, Bobby Kuntz and Paul Kuntz.
In 1947 Oscar Kuntz purchased a building owned by Carr Brothers on Princess Street in Waterloo. At that time named Metal Finishers.
