Make Precision Your Signature
At our Elk Grove Village precision manufacturing facility, your expertise keeps production moving and quality uncompromised. Picture a press waiting on a critical die component : you study the blueprint, set up the grinder and mill, verify every feature with micrometers and calipers, and get the tooling back in the press—running better than before. If that sounds like your kind of win, read on.
