Our History
In 1988, Raymond Blake purchased Sturdy Grinding & Machining. At the time the company was in a 6,000 sq. foot building with 6 employees. Over the years, the company has expanded to a 35,000 sq. foot facility with 30 employees. We believe this long term growth can be credited to our quality, service, and competitive pricing.
