Alpha Precision

Alpha Precision was originally founded in 1965 as Photo Instrument Tooling Co. in Yorkville, Illinois. The original focus of the business was to design and fabricate specialty camera equipment. Alpha Precision has repeatedly used its strengths in design and building specialty tooling and equipment to manufacture custom glass components. In 1979 Alp... ha began production of glass and ceramic substrates for the semiconductor pressure sensors. Alpha became a pioneer in ultrasonic drilling and machining of substrates and more than 25 years later is a major supplier of glass wafers, shipping wafers world wide. In February 2001 a group of investors lead by John Arthur Anderson purchased Photo Instrument from its founder. In May of 2001 we began operating as Alpha Precision Inc. reflecting our commitment to and alignment with the technology based markets including semiconductor sensors. These markets include automotive, communications, consumer, optical, fluidic, MEMS, NANO and biomedical which maintain tremendous potential for technological growth. In December 2005 our quality system was certified to ISO/TS 16949:2002 to better serve our automotive customers.Read More
