Company
Profile
Engineering
Camcraft is a hydraulics and flow
component specialist focusing on the automotive and off-road vehicle markets.
Our niche is in highly engineered components and assemblies on state of the art
and emerging technologies.
Quality
Being one of the first companies in
our industry to achieve TS 16949
certification demonstrates that we understand how important quality is to
our customers, but it does not produce results.
Delivering perfect parts
everyday demands a disciplined system with highly skilled personnel using the
most advanced technology. At Camcraft, where we produce some of the most
sophisticated turned parts in the world, the result of this approach is
world-class PPM levels delivered right, on-time.
Technology &
Facilities
Having the dedication to build a
facility recognized as a benchmark in the industry, with a commitment to
cleanliness and lean manufacturing, not only attracts the best people but sets
an expectation that serves to separate Camcraft from the rest of the field.
$27 million invested over
the last decade in CNC Hydromats, 8-spindle Schuttes and Euroturns, CNC in-feed,
cylindrical and ID grinders and micron bore finishing equipment as well as CMMs
and vision systems allows us to match the latest technology with world-class
talent - a winning combination.
Training
The importance of having a formal
training system has been lost on many manufacturers these days. However, the
benefits of an elite workforce are undeniable. Camcraft’s training program is
certified by the US Department of Labor and The National Institute for Metal
working Skills (NIMS).
Camcraft recently won the
coveted Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce training program of the year award
(known as the WorkforceChicago2.0
award), setting the benchmark for training programs in our industry,
and helping us to stay ahead of tomorrow’s technology, while meeting the
expectations of our customers today.
