Our History
Grover Gundrilling was founded in 1983 by Rupert and Suzanne Grover as a family owned contract gundrilling company in Oxford, Maine. In more recent years we have become a world-class producer of precision tubing and cannulated bar – creating input tubing in lengths long thought impossible. Our focus has been on partnering with our customers to understand their needs and help solve their problems—which is why many of our original customers are still with us nearly 40 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.
