ABOUT BRONSON & BRATTON, INC.
Bronson & Bratton was founded in 1948 by Walter D. Bronson and William J. Bratton, who recognized the need for a company that offered both a dedication to quality customer service and the knowledge and skill to finish carbide. We pioneered the successful application of carbide in tools and dies used in many processes, including can lid forming, roll forming, seaming, straightening, and aluminum can drawing. Now in our third generation of management, our applications have since broadened into non-metal working areas, and we've expanded into the aerospace and medical markets. Our dedication to customer service has stayed consistent, and we work hard to identify and anticipate our customer's needs in order to provide the best solutions to their unsolved problems.
Our team shares a commitment to growth, innovation, and continued excellence. We believe this ensures the successful operations of our day-to-day business as well as sets the foundation for future success. Our employees are some of the most skilled workers in their fields, and to show our appreciation for all that they do, we strive to provide a flexible, relaxed environment with the freedom to use their talents effectively to the best of their abilities. We want our employees to be proud of the work that they do! To learn more, visit our website at www.brons.com
