Arrow Engineering was founded in 1963 as a contract engineering service specializing in special jigs and fixtures required for holding close tolerances in complex aircraft parts using machinery of the day. Every operation was presented to the spindle. The fixture did the work of today's multiple axis machines.

Workholding Fixtures today are no less complicated, in fact with the increased capabilities of modern machinery has come an increased demand for innovative and high quality workholding. Pressure to do more with less drives us to be better than our competition.

About Us Report

Nick T. Hawley founded Arrow Engineering as a one-man design service. While the world has gotten smaller, faster and more competitive, we've grown from one employee working in one room to over 30 employees occupying over 20,000 square feet. Originally, our one product was design, now we're a one source solution for custom workholding and other precision products.
