What Makes United Centerless Grinding & Thread Rolling A Great Place to Work
When we first opened United Centerless Grinding and Thread Rolling in 1960, we were a small precision grinding company working almost exclusively with aerospace customers.
Over the past 60 years, we’ve moved, expanded, and upgraded our shop to a nearly 19,000 square foot facility in East Hartford, Connecticut. Today, we serve a broad range of industries in addition to aerospace, including automotive, medical, commercial, and defense.
Whether our customers need centerless grinding, thread rolling, Swiss precision machining, or wire EDM services, we have the right capabilities to produce a broad spectrum of parts, including long and large diameter parts and complex parts with exceptionally tight tolerances.
We continue to diversify and invest in our capabilities to serve the needs of our customers, and we’re always looking for talented people to grow with us.
