Entwistle

The Entwistle Company was founded in 1918 by James L. Entwistle, who was an electrical engineer and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Entwistle founded the Company in Rhode Island for the purpose of manufacturing specialized machinery for producing insulated electrical wire, which was an important emerging technology at the time.

For over 50 years, Entwistle has been proudly serving the U.S. Military, as well as select foreign militaries, with critical components and complete systems. Whether launching or recovering planes on an aircraft carrier, re-suppling our Navy's ships at sea, providing key components for weapons systems, or refueling aircraft in remote locations, Entwistle's unique design engineering, high-tolerance machining, and system integration capabilities have made the company an integral part of the Department of Defense supply chain.

The Entwistle Company and our Danville Division (formerly Lockley MFG Group) have supported the Department of Defense, as well as other major Defense Contractors such as Boeing, Aerojet, Honeywell, General Dynamics and Raytheon, with Ordnance Programs since the World War II era. Involvement in these ordnance programs has helped us to develop innovative manufacturing techniques and diversify and expand our in-house capabilities while giving us the competitive edge to insure on time delivery and excellent product quality for our customers.

You can depend on Entwistle to provide you with professional, personalized service at every step. Whether you need emergency repair parts shipped the same day, require preventative maintenance or skilled advice to select the proper component our team is ready to serve you. We maintain a comprehensive program database to ensure that all of your service questions are answered quickly and accurately.
