Merit Screw Machine Products traces its beginnings to 1928 Chicago, where it started as a modest sized job-shop on the West Side.  It quickly grew into an industry leader in the Precision Machine Products industry, and in the 1960s constructed a 16,000 sq. ft. facility nearby in Broadview, Illinois.  The state-of-the-art shop housed automatic screw machines such as Acmes, Davenports, Brown & Sharpe's, and EscomaticsMerit's foresight allowed it to switch from its Cam-driven roots and enter into the 21st century with the advent of high-tech Swiss-style multi-axis CNC Machines.  Today Merit houses 35 Swiss-style CNC machines, among them many Tornos, Traubs, and Tsugamis, capable of fabricating components from 1 - 38mm in diameter.  All types of metals are machined, including: Ferrous and Non-Ferrous alloys and metals, Titanium, Inconel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Bronze, Brass, and even some Plastics
