Numerical Precision was founded in 1970 by Mr. Egon Jaeggin. Mr. Jaeggin worked on the team that created the first hand held camera used in outer space while serving as Lead Instrumentation & Manufacturing Engineer at the Lindheimer Astronomical Research Center, Northwestern University. His experience quickly evolved into early space exploration and missile programs which required tough machining challenges.
Numerical Precision has been named supplier of the year by a leading aerospace corporation and its customers have twice nominated the firm for national recognition. The firm has won Small Business Association honors, twice receiving personal recognition from the President of the United States in Washington DC.
