About Krafft and Associates

Krafft and Associates is primarily a contract grinding shop focused on flat grinding and lapping. We specialize in grinding difficult materials, tight tolerances and large sizes.

We have the capacity to grind very large (36 H thick x 84 H wide x 180 H long) parts as well as almost anything smaller. We surface grind plates, castings, weldments, molds, dies, knives, blades, bars, rings and machine beds.

Krafft and Associates, Inc. was founded in 1966 by Fritz Krafft, who had more than 35 years experience designing and building machines and systems at the Thompson Grinder Company. Many of you may know current manager Bill Krafft, who is always happy to discuss your projects and delivery requirements. Our production employees average more than fifteen years experience.

We believe we have grown because of our dedication to quality and service. We continue to add capacity and modernize our machinery.

Besides our variety of grinding and lapping machines, we have a ISO-ton hydraulic straightening press, 7.S-ton capacity cranes throughout our factory, miscellaneous job shop machines and inspection equipment to assure conformance to standards.
