A HistorY OF SUCCESS
Joseph H. Nook, Jr. founded Nook Industries in 1969 with the primary goal of stocking and machining ball screws manufactured by Saginaw Steering Gear. This early role as a master distributor for Saginaw enabled Nook Industries to gain experience and technical expertise in the world of linear motion.

Since then, the company has grown to engineer, design and manufacture eight major product lines comprising over 10,000 configurable products. Nook Industries core manufacturing excellence includes: ball screw assemblies, acme screw assemblies, planetary roller screws, worm gear screw jacks, electric cylinder actuators, linear bearings, shafting, slide systems, end bearing supports and precision end machining for inch and metric markets.
