What Moore Tool Company does

Moore Tool Company is a privately held Bridgeport, Connecticut-based precision manufacturing firm founded in 1924 and operating as a subsidiary of PMT Group. The company serves four primary end-markets — aerospace and defense (its designated primary vertical), die and mold, consumer electronics, and automotive/EV — with contract manufacturing services centered on CNC jig grinding, CNC machining, and CNC surface grinding, plus AS9100 and ISO:9001 certified capabilities for flight-critical components. Its commercial model combines enterprise contract manufacturing with a global aftermarket business: a worldwide network of certified Field Service Technicians supports installed jig grinding equipment, and a direct e-commerce storefront sells grinding wheel consumables (electroplated, resin bond, metal bond, bottom grinding, carbide burr, contour, and gold-line super-abrasive wheels priced roughly $12–$368), replacement spindles, and the legacy 'Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy' technical publication by Wayne R. Moore ($250 per copy). The company is vertically integrated with sister company Moore Nanotechnology Systems, supplying key precision-machined components and assembly for next-generation ultra-precision machine tools such as the M600 Ultra Precision Jig Grinder. Headcount is reported in the 51–100 range, and revenue, funding, and customer-level data are not publicly disclosed.
