Torrington Company

The Torrington Company was a firm that developed in Torrington, Connecticut, emerging as a rename from the Excelsior Needle Company. It used a "cold swaging" technique to create sewing machine needles and other needles from cold metal, and was the largest employer in Torrington.[1]

James Alldis was supervisor at the firm during some part of his 30 year career, from 1869-1899.[1]

It was sold to Ingersoll-Rand.[1]

It was purchased in 2003 by the Timken Company.
