Our Machine Shop
When Ryder-Heil Bronze was founded in 1910, customers could only receive unfinished castings from its original foundry. Ryder-Heil's business grew and demands began to change, and in 1928 a machine shop was added. By 1997 the machine shop was replaced with a new modern machinery capable of delivering parts specific to customer's blueprints. Today they are able to supply their customer with bronze bearings, bronze bushings, bronze wear plates, and bronze thrust washers.
