Our History

Grover Gundrilling was founded in 1983 by Rupert and Suzanne Grover as a family owned contract gundrilling company in Oxford, Maine. Since the beginning, our focus has been on partnering with our customers to understand their needs and help solve their problems—which is why some of our original customers are still with us over 35 years later. By combining deep technical knowledge with a dedication to serving our customers we have grown from a small shop serving a New England customer base to become a trusted supplier to Medical and Aerospace manufacturing companies throughout the world.
