Richard Carr opened his precision machine shop — — in 1972, which initially served as a manufacturer for commercial printing press parts. In 2004, the company began to focus on emerging industries when Richard’s son, Jim Carr, took full ownership as its president.
Since taking over, Carr has turned the company into a high-tech CNC shop, a process that included upgrading its ERP, obtaining AS9100D accreditation and re-focusing its interests on the aerospace, space and exploration, semiconductor, medical and defense industries. "We support clients like Virgin Galactic, Tesla and Boom Supersonic, and serve as their first-class aerospace machine shop,” Carr says.
Carr recently moved locations within the Elk Grove Village industrial park. The new location is a 15,000 square foot high-tech facility, where the company intends to grow by adding robotic, inspection and machine technologies. According to Carr, this move will result in a 300 percent expansion of operations.
“We truly ‘live’ in this industry and believe in the direction it’s going as it pertains to innovation,” Carr says. “We want to connect with clients that have the same ambition.”
