Always At The Forefront of Technology
NewEra has a long rich heritage of staying at the forefront of technology. In the early 1960's, as an accountant with the Utah State Tax Commission, our company founder was amongst early adopters of the IBM 1620, an early transistorized computer introduced in 1959.
The IBM 1620 was a groundbreaking scientific computer, designed to be affordable and accessible to universities, research institutions, and government agencies. Its decimal-based architecture made it particularly well-suited for accounting and financial applications, where precision in numerical calculations was paramount.

NewEra purchased the first DL-15 MTM, the first Mori-Seiki multi-spindle, multi turret machine on US soil. Since then we have embraced cutting-edge technology like Dual Spindle Multi-Axis CNC machines, leveraging their capabilities to drive productivity, output, and confidence in quality. Once we got a taste of the benefits of these new machines we naturally were amongst the first to purchase the updated DL 150 machine which added a Y-axis as well! Much like how the IBM 1620 revolutionized complex calculations, data processing, and accounting accuracy for the tax commission, our adoption of advanced manufacturing solutions has transformed our operations and has established us leaders in technological adoption. Once a pioneer, always a pioneer.
The Impact of Innovations
The impact of innovations like the IBM 1620 or Multi-Axis CNC machines extends beyond their capabilities. Our proactive stance inspires other businesses to follow suit, recognizing the competitive advantages that early adoption can provide. By embracing cutting-edge solutions, we not only optimize our operations but also set an example for others to follow, driving progress and innovation within our industry and beyond.
Innovations like these play a crucial role in training a new generation of professionals, ensuring a skilled workforce is capable of leveraging emerging technologies. NewEra is dedicated to embracing such innovations, and looks forward to emerging technologies like Ai, robotics and automation, Internet of Things (IoT) and Connected Factories to reach goals like "lights out" manufacturing, not only to enhance its own operations but also to contribute to the broader technological advancement of the industry. That is our 'Commitment to Quality of Life'!
