Who we are, and what we believe in at Hitchiner Manufacturing
/For more than 70 years, Hitchiner Manufacturing Co., has been one of the state’s leading manufacturers. It is constantly innovating its manufacturing methods and today relies on a unique “counter-gravity” investment casting process which allows the company to deliver high-quality precision metal products used in high-end automobile and light truck engines, aircraft engines, and US defense equipment.
Hitchiner is a family-owned company whose core values are respect, responsibility, and relationships. These components of its mission enable it to attain leadership roles in its industry and its community and enable it to attract and retain employees that deliver high quality manufacturing and relentlessly pursue innovation, flexibility and greater efficiencies in the investment casting process.
Headquartered in Milford, Hitchiner is the third-highest grossing family-owned company in the state, with more than $250 million in annual sales, 1,900 employees, and a reputation as a high-quality consistent supplier in a number of international markets.
Since its inception in 1946, Hitchiner Manufacturing has been steadily growing, gradually improving the investment casting process to make more complex parts, in greater quantities, with improved efficiencies in energy consumption and reducing waste. Over the last 20 years, Hitchiner developed and perfected its exclusive counter-gravity casting technique that enables greater efficiency, less waste, and opened the door to creating parts of complex configurations not possible with other processes.
In the past 3 years, Hitchiner has embarked on the design and construction of a new 85,000 square foot facility at its main Milford campus that will enable it to use the countergravity process on a larger scale.
