OUR PAST
Isimac Machine Company - was named for its founder, Isidore Poletti, a master craftsman, trained in Switzerland. Poletti’s skills, techniques and successful interpretation of drawings and specifications enabled him to move to America to work for a Swiss company which manufactured precision machined parts.
The plant began operations in 1964, with a 1,200 sq. ft. building in Temple, PA. From the early beginning, Edward C. Graeff, joined Mr. Poletti in the managing and developing of ISIMAC.
As the firm grew, the level of services was also upgraded. In 1979 a separate Quality Control and CNC Lathe Department was developed. Our CNC equipment expanded our manufacturing from prototype to larger volume, multiple piece manufacturing.
In 1984 a 15,000 sq. ft. facility was constructed in Blandon, Pa. to house additional equipment. One year later ISIMAC purchased its first CNC machining center to increase its manufacturing capabilities.
In 1986, due to the complexity of our business and the need to meet delivery times consistently, ISIMAC installed a manufacturing software package, which integrates its entire operation including scheduling, purchasing, job definition, customer control and all financials.
In 1989, ISIMAC added a new department to handle all deburring and finishing requirements that are needed to meet drawing specifications.
A key element for ISIMAC’s continual growth and success is its philosophy of versatility. Not only to stay abreast of ever changing technology, but also to integrate that technology to sustain its traditional value to make a high quality part at a competitive price and to deliver it on time.
