Our History
Roberts Swiss Inc. was founded in 1953 in the city of Chicago by two WWII veterans. Originally known as Roberts Pivots & Needles Inc., the company began making high-end phonograph needles, using some Swiss-type Escomatic machines to manufacture the shafts.
Our Equipment and Technology
Roberts Swiss operates two facilities, totaling 55,000 square feet, both of which are located in Itasca, Illinois.
We utilize Swiss machining applications from .010" diameter to 1.500" in diameter, from simple to highly complex, from low- to high-volume production. At Roberts Swiss, we have the capability to machine parts from stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, brass, bronze, coppers, and various alloys.
