What Client's are Saying.....

"Hello Speedgrip, Wanted to let you all know that we are very impressed with the customer service and response time we have received. I am a primary purchaser for Sandvik Coromants Engineered Tools Division. I have been working with Barry Neilson and Stephanie Makin and have not seen this level of customer service in a very long time! Thank you!"

~Sandvik

"This company is the best. I had a project where I needed ZERO runout on an old CNC lathe. By working with these folks I was able to hold a +/- .01 microns with a 16 Ra. They are happy to teach you how to achieve your needs."

~Mike Bissonette

In 1946 founder Richard Ernest began manufacturing the standard line of Single Taper chucks and collets designed by his father Fred Ernest. The company grew, developing a full line of internal and external gripping standard and custom built workholding products.

In 1965 Speedgrip Chuck moved to the then-new present facility and continued to grow in size and workholding product line development.

In 1973 Gary Renaud, (son-in-law to Mr. Ernest) acquired ownership of Speedgrip Chuck, furthering continuing the family owned and operated tradition.

In 1994 the Cameron Company, with a full line of hydraulic chucks and arbors, and Madison Face Driver companies were acquired further adding to the available workholding product lines.

In December 2015, the Stratford-Cambridge Group of Plymouth, MI purchased the Speedgrip companies, operating with the same management, at the same facility, and continuing on the well known and established workholding tradition.
