Precipart Group, a global supplier of precision custom mechanical components, gears and motion control assemblies for medical technology, aerospace, homeland security and industrial markets, has changed the name of its ALCprecision operating company to Precipart. The name change coincides with the launch of a new Precipart informational website at www.precipart.com.

Based in Farmingdale, NY, the ALCprecision business unit provides custom solutions for high-precision machined parts, technical ceramic components, custom mechanical assemblies and miniature parts in various materials. Tracing its origin back to the mid-1800s and the invention of the Swiss Screw Machine, the company offers value-added services on a global basis - from design through high-volume production and delivery logistics.

The name change is effective immediately. However, the company’s structure, ownership, processes, quality systems, staff and location will not change, according to Robert Marchese, Precipart president and CEO. “The name change from ALCprecision to Precipart correlates with the alignment of our operating companies in strategy and process under one common brand,” explained Marchese. “Together, the Precipart Group family of companies is expanding its reach and capabilities beyond component production to offer added value for its customers. Not only are we growing by providing systems and assemblies, but we see opportunities for growth and strategic sourcing in new geographic markets. The transition to a common brand identity is part of that vision for expansion.”

In addition to the name change and new website, Precipart is expanding its campus in New York, adding a new building with more than 21,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Precipart Group has operations in Farmingdale, NY; Lyss, Switzerland; and Hampshire, England.
