In the world of manufacturing, every part tells a story. At C&B Machinery, our story begins not with machines, but with people.
Back in 1980, our founder Joe Parker set out on his own with a toolbox, a vision, and two little girls at home. He named the company after them, Courtney and Brooke, a daily reminder of why hard work and perseverance matter. Joe started small, refurbishing grinding machines one job at a time. What he didn’t know then was that this hands-on work would give C&B a foundation unlike any other: a deep, practical understanding of what makes grinding machines reliable, durable, and built to last.
Fast forward 45 years, and we’ve grown into a trusted name in precision grinding solutions. From our home in New Hudson, Michigan, we’ve expanded from rebuilding legacy machines to designing and building new, state-of-the-art equipment. Along the way, we’ve partnered with some of the world’s largest manufacturers, and we’ve kept the same focus that guided Joe at the very beginning: solving problems, supporting customers, and standing behind every machine we put our name on.
What makes C&B different isn’t just the technology, it’s the people behind it. Our team takes pride in combining decades of hands-on experience with the drive to innovate. Whether we’re breathing new life into a 50-year-old grinder or designing a brand-new system, our goal is simple: give our customers the confidence that their production line will run with accuracy, efficiency, and peace of mind.
Through all the changes in manufacturing, one thing hasn’t shifted. C&B Machinery is still a family-minded company at heart, committed to building relationships that last as long as our machines.
We’re excited to share our journey here on LinkedIn, stories of innovation, lessons learned on the shop floor, and the values that continue to guide us.
