FEED THE BEAST

Automation keeps the NHP running. Day and night.

Nothing is sweeter than the sound of a spindle making chips, especially when it’s the high-performance spindle found on one of our NHP Series of Compact Horizontal Machining Centers. These workhorses can handle whatever you throw at them, and are always asking for more.

That’s where our Linear Pallet System (LPS) comes in. It feeds the NHP around the clock, which leaves nothing but pallets upon pallets of precise, ready-to-ship parts. And if floor space is a concern, the Rotary Pallet System (RPS) will fit right in.

Announcements & Releases

Soon after Tom finished his service in the United States Navy, he moved his family to Cleveland, Ohio, where he took a position with Swagelok, a well-established fittings manufacturing company. After working briefly at Swagelok, Tom’s parents gave Dad a small loan to start his company. Fred A. Lennon, Tom’s boss and founder of Swagelok, contracted with the new company to manufacture parts for them. After serving in the Vietnam War, Uncle Russell (one of Tom’s younger brothers) joined the company.

The company started as a “job shop,” making various products, including retention knobs for Mazak.

About 45 years ago, they began to produce retention knobs on lathes. T.J. Davies Company was the first to use this production method to manufacture retention knobs.

In August 2018, Tom passed away, leaving the business to the next generation. Although Tom is no longer here, the company’s values, mission, and vision remain the same. His daughters have been making strategic changes to grow the business. The first order of business was to purchase a much larger building so they would have room to grow; the move was completed in December 2021. Next, a new website was launched, updated branding, and a new 132-page catalog. The book is available spiral-bound as well as an electronic flipbook that links to their website that can be kept on your smartphone.Call them if you are looking for excellent customer service, inventory in stock, and same-day shipping for orders received by 3:00 PM EST.
