CORBITT Manufacturing Company offers a diversified
contract-manufacturing environment. We can provide
aluminum permanent-mold castings, small lot-size
and/or high production machining and other services
that support these capabilities. For example, Corbitt
has in-house heat treating, tooling and engineering
capabilities.
Corbitt serves the transportation, construction
equipment, farm equipment, foodservice, industrial
tool and other OEM industries.
CORBITT was founded in 1948. In 1988, ACF Industries
of St. Charles Missouri purchased Corbitt. ACF Industries
has undergone several changes over the years and
subsequently the name of Corbitt’s parent company
is now American Railcar Industries, ARI. ARI manufactures
tank and hopper-style railcars. Corbitt provides
ARI with numerous cast and machined components which
are used in the assembly of ARI railcars. An affiliated
company, American Railcar Leasing, ARL, leases railcars
manufactured by ARI.
In 2001, Corbitt acquired G.C. Stephens Company
of St. Peters, Missouri. The combined operations
were consolidated in a 130,000 square foot facility
located just north of the historic district of St.
Charles, Missouri.
Corbitt’s casting operation has four furnaces, each
capable of supplying molten aluminum to multiple
gravity tilt pour lines. Cast parts can range in
size from 1 to 75lbs. Permanent mold castings have
advantages when compared to castings produced by
other casting methods such as better surface finish
for an improved appearance, good grain structure
that permits better strength characteristics and
less porosity than other casting methods. Permanent
molding provides tighter tolerances than other casting
methods. This minimizes machining cost. Permanent
molding also allows the possibility to cast in parts
such as: studs, nuts, bushings, pipes, and any other
integral parts.
Corbitt's machining operation includes 11 CNC Machining
Centers. We are proficient at most metal cutting
processes as well as wire and RAM EDM. Depending
on the processes required, our work piece size capacities
are sufficient for the majority of applications.
We have experience working with most materials.
We offer expertise and competitive pricing for lot
size production requirements ranging from one to
several hundred thousand units.
