South Beloit, IL (September 26, 2019) – Clinkenbeard, a worldwide leader in the rapid production of complex metal castings and machined parts, hosted an Open House today to commemorate its relocation.

In addition to upgrading its business systems and infrastructure, Clinkenbeard has purchased a Mori Lathe with milling capability and a DMG DMU65 five-axis milling machine to serve its growing aerospace and defense customer base.
Vendors, customers, and local and state dignitaries gathered alongside Clinkenbeard employees to learn more about the company’s growth, tour the new facility, and to celebrate the exciting future the expansion provides.
Clinkenbeard General Manager, Matt Gustafson states: “Part of Clinkenbeard’s strategic plan is smart growth via sector-specific market expansion.
