What Servo Products Co does

Servo Products Company, founded in 1964 in Pasadena, California by Francis Moseley, designs and manufactures manual and semi-automated machine tool accessories — principally power feeds (currently the Type 350X brushless DC, plus the Dynamo Import line), precision drill presses (Standard, Heavy Duty, Offset Column, Elbow/Deep Throat), the Orion CNC Retrofit Kit, Variable Frequency Drives (VFD/VFD Plus), and pneumatic power drawbars. Its products fit Bridgeport-type knee mills and over 100 other mill models, integrating features such as G-code–based quill feed control (Model 708), 350 in-lb continuous torque motors, 4-second tool-change drawbars, and PLC-based single-phase CNC retrofits; manufacturing is performed in-house at the Eastlake, Ohio headquarters.

The company monetizes through hardware sales via a tiered channel: a worldwide distribution network of 500+ dealers for prototype and production fulfillment, internal sales and marketing teams dedicated to Domestic, Canadian, and International regions, and direct factory purchase via a toll-free line (800-521-7359). Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, with revenue supplemented by parts, accessories, and warranty/repair service through authorized service centers.

Servo is privately held following a 2004 acquisition by Mirko Cukelj (majority stockholder of peer firms High Quality Tool and 2M Manufacturing), with current leadership including CEO Irene Cukelj, President Greg Heyen, VP Bryan Heartz, and Treasurer Ivanka Zovko. End customers are machine shops and manufacturing operations across automotive, computer, electronic, medical, jewelry, EDM, and molded-parts industries, served primarily as SMB and mid-market accounts. The 2018 acquisition of Elrod Machine & Manufacturing extended the company's footprint in the CNC retrofit category.
