Making America Strong

Located near the birthplace of the American industrial revolution, ingenuity has been an ever-present factor in the success of making high-quality tools at Starrett. With nearly 150 issued patents, a skilled workforce and a 535,000-square-foot complex housing conventional and advanced equipment, manufacturing excellence driven by innovation endures.

In 1880, Laroy Sunderland Starrett invented and made the world’s first combination square in Athol, Massachusetts U.S.A. 140 years later in 2021, in the same location, the company launched a Data Collection System (DataSure 4.0) that is a quantum leap forward in technology, data security and scalability. With five manufacturing plants in the U.S., Starrett exemplifies a strong U.S.-based manufacturing company investing in the future of America. Starrett is the only American manufacturer of many precision hand tools, including mechanical micrometers, mechanical dial calipers and electronic specialty micrometers.
