National Manufacturing Co., a Piscataway, New Jersey-based provider of specialty deep and shallow drawn stamping, was acquired by Chicago-based CORE Industrial Partners, according to a Tuesday announcement from the company.
Founded in 1944, National offers precision enclosures and metal components, high-speed computer numerical control milling and turning, and wire electrical discharge machining and sinker capabilities, as well as numerous value-added finishing operations, including plating, anodizing, painting, powder coating, welding and riveting.
National’s ability to collaborate with customer engineering teams during the design phase can help expedite the process of bringing new products to market and ensure leading product quality in terms of both performance and aesthetics.
Serving a variety of end markets, including aerospace & defense, electronics and industrials, National offers especially deep experience in the medical end market across various implantable devices, including pacemakers, defibrillators, batteries and capacitors.
The company operates in a 90,000-square-foot facility with more than 150 machines, and holds ISO13485, AS9100, and ISO9001 certifications and an ITAR registration.

- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- lapping compound( powder)
lapping compound( powder)
Light, abrasive material used for finishing a surface.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
- numerical control ( NC)
numerical control ( NC)
Any controlled equipment that allows an operator to program its movement by entering a series of coded numbers and symbols. See CNC, computer numerical control; DNC, direct numerical control.
- turning
turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
