Started with one lathe. Still obsessed.
Torvane began in a two-bay garage in Dayton, Ohio. Today 420 machinists, engineers and inspectors build parts that fly, heal and power the world.
01 / Our story
38 years of getting it right.
One lathe, one promise
Founder Ray Torvane opens a two-bay shop with a manual lathe and a promise: every part ships right, or it ships again at our cost.
First CNC cell & ISO 9001
Our first CNC machining centers arrive, along with ISO 9001 certification and our first aerospace customer.
Fabrication & welding
Sheet metal and certified welding move in-house, letting customers consolidate entire assemblies with one supplier.
Medical & metrology lab
ISO 13485 certification, a clean room, and a climate-controlled metrology lab with six CMMs.
Automation & 24-hour quotes
Lights-out robotic cells and an engineer-reviewed 24-hour quoting promise. Now serving 1,200+ engineering teams.
02 / The facility
180,000 sq ft of capacity.
Two buildings, three shifts, one quality system. Customers are welcome to visit any time; most leave with a new part number for us.
03 / What we believe
Three rules we don't bend.
Say it, ship it
We quote real lead times and hit them. 99.7% of the time, anyway, and we tell you early when we won't.
Engineers answer
Every customer has a named manufacturing engineer and program manager. No ticket queues.
Own the miss
Out-of-spec parts are remade at our cost and expedited. No disputes, no restocking fees.
04 / Leadership
The people behind the parts.
05 / Sustainability
Precision, without the waste.
Manufacturing uses a lot of energy and material. We measure ours, publish it, and cut it every year.
