Company Celebrates 25 Years; Diversification is the Key to Success

From Mitsubishi EDM/Laser
 

 

About 50 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, near the town of Apollo, are the facilities of Rearick Tooling and its two subsidiaries, JIT Global Enterprises and JIT Prototyping. With 75,000 square feet of space in three buildings and 68 employees, the company has added 10,000 square feet for powder coating, welding, sandblasting and storage for JUST IN TIME delivery items. Pick up and delivery service is also available for Western Pennsylvania.

Rearick Tooling is located in a HUB Zone (Armstrong Co. PA) and employs young experienced employees through co-op training programs. Owner Sam Rearick says, “Most of my employees live close to work, work a considerable amount of overtime and get paid for the time they would otherwise spend driving back and forth to work.”

Sam Rearick celebrates 25 years in business in 2007. Starting in his garage in 1982, Rearick spent six years manufacturing precision carbide tooling for the lead frame and connector business before expanding to his current facility. To grow the company, Rearick continues to purchase equipment to expedite manufacturing and broaden the company’s capabilities.
