Every company has a history. For United Tool & Machine, that history begins in 1947, post-WWII Cambridge MA, as the United Tool & Die company.
Louis Marsilia subsequently purchased the business in the 1960’s and moved it to Wilmington, MA where it served the burgeoning Rt 128 belt around Greater Boston. It was there until 2007, when it was acquired by current owner and President, Scott Fallavollita. Scott had previously acquired Gaynor Industries, of Lynn, MA in 2005, and he combined the two businesses within the 15,000 sq ft Wilmington facility.
After a turnaround of the two businesses, UTD was able to purchase Smith Brothers Machine, a CNC machine shop located in Rockport, MA in 2013. The company changed its name to United Tool & Machine to better reflect its new capabilities and direction.
In 2016 UTM acquired a customer, HRI Tool of Haverhill, MA. HRI specialized in CNC machining and complicated assemblies for defense contractors.
The company announced the acquisition of the B.G. Peck Company in 2019, adding laser, waterjet, diecutting and non-metallic stamping to its capabilities list.
And finally, UTM purchased CNC machine shop Morton and Company in January 2020. Morton added horizontal CNC machining and electro-mechanical assembly to its growing list of services. In 2021 the move of all three businesses was completed within the 60,000 sq ft Peck facility at 50 Shepard Street, Lawrence MA.
Throughout all these years, the company has invested heavily in capital equipment upgrades, personnel and a variety of new systems. It has received multiple workforce Training Fund Grants from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and promotes Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement training for its workforce.
