United Broach Company

We are located at D-220 in the Industrial Focal Point, right in the thick of things. United Broach Company isn’t a place with glass walls or shiny floors. It’s a working shop where the main thing you’ll notice is the smell of coolant and the heavy stacks of metal waiting to be processed. We focus on broaching, which means we spend a lot of time watching long tools pull through metal. It’s slow, steady work that can’t be rushed if you want it to come out right. The guys on the floor have been doing this so long they don’t even need to look at the manuals anymore. We have an old desk in the corner where we keep the logs and the blueprints, and it’s usually buried under a layer of fine metal dust. The industrial area can be a bit grim in the winter, but we keep the heaters going and just focus on the task at hand. We don't have any fancy mission statements or anything like that on the walls. Mostly it's just calendars and safety posters that have been there for ten years. We just try to get the dimensions right and make sure the tools are sharp. It’s a lot of repetition, but there’s a certain rhythm to it that we all appreciate after a while. Most of us have worked here long enough that it feels like home.
