Five decades in the making

It was in 1969 that C & A Tool first opened its doors in a garage in Churubusco , Indiana , beginning a journey of dynamic leadership , unparalleled expertise , and major investments . The company purchased its first building in 1971 , before expanding its facilities in 1977 . C & A Tool then purchased its first CNC machine , a Mori Seiki Lathe , just seven years later , adding a B-axis Kellenberger , and its first Voumard Grinder in 1994 , marking its then-25th anniversary . In 1999 , the company moved to its present 110,000-square-foot headquarters , where it has continued to cement its place as a leader in the high-precision contract manufacturing industry .
