The New Britain Machine Company, New Britain, Conn., has purchased from the American Hardware Corporation the screw machine department of the Universal Machine Screw Company, Hartford, Conn. The American Hardware Corporation recently acquired this business. Its own works for the manufacture of screw ma chine products, those of the Corbin Screw Corporation, were unable to supply the demand, and the Universal Company not only builds multi-splindle [spindle] automatic screw machines but conducts a large department for the manufacture of screw machine products. The Corbin Screw Corporation wished to produce immediately a large number of the Universal screw machines. Therefore the absorption of the business was wholly logical. The sale of the machine department carries with it a large order for machines, which will supplement the manufacturing capacity of the Hartford factory. The removal of the machine shop equipment to the New Britain Machine Company's works will release space for the screw machine products department. The New Britain Machine Company is building the automatic multi-spindle chucking machines which were acquired with the business of the George G. Prentice Company, New Haven, Conn., and the Universal screw machine is naturally a supplementary line. |
