📖 From the Archives | 1994

Let’s take another trip back more than 30 years!

This 1994 Columbia Gear newsletter highlights several upgrades taking place throughout the company as Columbia Gear continued “upgrading for today and the future.”

The article features updates to the Front Office, Grinding Department, and Machine Center, including the addition of an Okuma CNC machine and updated equipment in the Tool Grinding Department. It also highlights the replacement of an older shaper cutter sharpener with a newer automatic machine marking the end of an era for a piece of equipment that had served Columbia Gear for many years.

It’s interesting to see how Columbia Gear was investing in new technology and improving its facilities more than 30 years ago changes that helped lay the groundwork for the manufacturing capabilities we have today.

While the machines and technology have continued to evolve, our commitment to innovation, precision, and continuous improvement remains the same.

👀Do you recognize anyone in these photos? Or perhaps you remember working with some of this equipment? We’d love to hear your memories!
