Precision Punch Acquires Eastern Industries
In an exciting move to extend their product line and enhance their customer service, Precision Punch Corporation (Berlin, CT) has acquired Eastern Industries (Berlin, CT), which combines Precision Punch’s manufacturing excellence and technical know-how with Eastern Industries’ specialized product line. As a division of Precision Punch, Eastern will benefit from their new parent company’s advanced manufacturing techniques, which include Six-Sigma manufacturing processes that result in maintaining the highest quality in products and services and contribute to outstanding performance.
By uniting the two companies, this new configuration builds on the unique talents of each. Precision is the premier manufacturer of high-precision standard and custom punches, dies, core pins, perforators, and hardened, precision ground cylindrical parts. They offer a full line of ground perforators, close space punches, punch blanks, stepped punches, ejector punches, pilot punches, bevel-headed punches, core pins, mold pins, nitrided ejector pins, EDM die blanks, precision die buttons, tool blanks, sleeves, and miniature tools and components.
Eastern is a leading quality producer of feeler gage products with the largest range of available off-the-shelf gages. They serve a wide range of markets, including aerospace, automotive, defense, electronics, medical, textile, transportation, and utilities. They offer a complete line of standard and custom gages used to measure thickness, gaps, and spacing. They have earned their reputation by listening to and serving customers’ specific measurement and assembly needs and finding solutions to their unique requests. There are very few feeler gage manufacturers worldwide, and none of them can compete with their versatility, inventory, and customer service.
“It’s a natural! We share the same values and a commitment to excellence,” explains Kevin Gregoire, the president of Precision. “Their customers will benefit from our combined expertise and the assurance that every feeler gage reflects the same quality and accuracy that our customers have relied on for years.”
