- In 1977, with five kids, a wife, a second mortgage – and everything to lose – Dave took a leap of faith. He bought the Jaquith name – a trusted one in the industry that carried a lot of weight.
- Setting up shop in a small space in Topsfield, the company grew by leaps and bounds over the years, seeing numerous moves to Ipswich and Rowley before settling into its current home in Groveland.
- For 50 years, Dave and his team honed the complex skills of grinding and finishing work that only comes through years of hard work.
- Over the years, Jaquith has earned the position of being a highly valuable vendor with small and large companies alike
- Our exceptional precision capabilities, in both carbide and hardened steel, have become an industry standard – especially when it comes to microchips that are very demanding.
- Today, alongside Office Manager Laurie Tetreault and Lead Machinist Ed Feeley, Dave continues to lead with the same philosophy that has defined the company for nearly 50 years.
While he’s semi-retired now, there’s still a good bet that it’s Daves voice you’ll hear when you call the shop’s phone number. That kind of unwavering dedication to a craft doesn’t just loosen its grip when you hit retirement age. It keeps Dave young and involved, which means he’ll keep teaching and getting his hands dirty for as long as he can.
