Preserving the values and commitment to excellence that serve as the foundation of the company since National Machine’s inception, the company has enjoyed consistent growth and unparalleled industry success over the past four decades. National Machine Group® is a privately held, family-owned business run on a core set of principles rooted in the dedication to creating a successful operation.

Founded as a part-time machining business in the basement of a house in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, National Machine was officially incorporated in April 1967. Headquartered in Stow, Ohio, ownership has grown National Machine Group® to be a proud industry leader in product design, manufacture and value-added services for Tier-1 Aerospace, Defense & Industrial Markets.

Since its founding in 1967, National Machine has enjoyed steady growth; from 1977 to 1982 company sales doubled for the first time. They then doubled again by 1988, and later in 2004 as well. Ownership is proud of the consistent growth of the company, as well as the integrity, commitment and experience showcased in the over 350 highly skilled associates that help to make us a success. The owners take pride in having created an environment that fosters employee loyalty. They have established a unique culture that inspires excellence at all levels of operations.
