C&S Machine Products, Inc., was founded in 1966 by Joseph Saratore and Harley Cole. Joe and Harley saw an opportunity to make prototype parts for the Bendix Corporation/Lakeshore Division. Joseph Saratore became the sole owner of C&S Machine Products, a mere nine months after the company was founded. In 1967, C&S Machine received a contract from the Studebaker Corporation to rebuild engine blocks, which provided the opportunity for C&S Machine to expand and grow.
C&S Machine started its apprenticeship program in 1968. This was the beginning of its belief in continuing education for our employees. In 1974, C&S Machine purchased a Sheldon 1710 NC Lathe, and with this purchase, began the philosophy to purchase the latest technology in manufacturing. Soon after purchasing its first CNC machine in 1974, C&S Machine made the decision to do precision machining for local customers. In the mid 1980's, C&S Machine made the transfer to a nationwide customer base with the aerospace industry. As the company continued to expand, in 1996 C&S Machine added Leybold Vacuum Products as a customer. With this addition, it enabled C&S Machine to become a supplier to the world and resulted in the addition of CNC grinding and EDM technologies to our capabilities.
Today, C&S Machine Products, Inc., is considered one of the premiere manufacturers in precision machining.
