About New Hampshire Ball Bearings Inc.

New Hampshire Ball Bearings Inc. (NHBB) was founded in 1946 by Arthur N. Daniels and Pierre Wentworth with the goal of bringing the production of miniature precision ball bearings into the modern era. The company’s founders believed that a “micro” ball bearing could be fully serviceable and deliver significant performance advantages over more traditional larger products. The business grew rapidly from the start, necessitating two expansions of its manufacturing operations in just the first ten years. Myriad acquisitions allowed the company to significantly diversify into new products and markets.

In 1985, the company was acquired by MinebeaMitsumi, a Japanese multinational company and producer of machinery and electronics. MinebeaMitsumi invested a large sum of money in the company, particularly in the manufacturing of cylindrical roller bearings for aero engines. More recently, the two companies have collaborated to acquire specialized bearing manufacturers and a premium contact manufacturing business, further extending NHBB’s reach.

Today, the company is a leading manufacturer of precision bearings and complex bearing assemblies for the aerospace, defense, medical, dental, and technology markets. Their range of products includes precision miniature and instrument ball bearings, large ball and roller bearings for aircraft engines, and specialized rod end and spherical bearings for diverse aircraft applications.
