Moroso is one of the companies we’re very proud to have on board here at BangShift. They have a longstanding reputation for quality and innovation that we truly respect and the fact that they are a New England based company makes it even sweeter for me. Hey, you have to have local pride, right? Anyway, we got tipped off to this great video which takes us behind the scenes at Moroso and showcases the company’s varied product line, how various parts are made, and how the company continues to stay competitive in the ever changing high performance industry. The robotic plasma torch is pretty awesome but the hand craftsmanship exhibited on the welding and assembly tables is also nothing to sneeze at. You have to remember that Moroso has one of the most varied product lines in the entire industry and with that comes the need for a widely skilled workforce. The guys who are doing the welding are not the same guys running the CNC machines, etc.
The company’s humble roots began to spread in 1968 when Dick Moroso hung his shingle up and went into business. From that point the growth and breadth of the company has turned into something no one could have forseen nearly 50 years ago. There are nearly 4,000 part numbers in the Moroso catalog and the staggering majority are produced at the company’s Connecticut headquarters. Made in the USA quality is something that we hold very near and dear here at BangShift and Moroso certainly has it in their veins as well.
Press play and take a few minutes to tour one of the most impressive speed parts manufacturing operations in the country. So much of the work is done by hand by craftsmen that you’ll never look at your fabricated valve covers or awesome oil pan the same way again. This is the stuff we truly love to watch.
I clicked on the arrow, and it sez, this video does not exist.
Just Awesome. New appreciation for their parts…Check. Reminds me of my opinion of a local ranch house restaurant that I thought was over priced, and how that opinion changed after I worked there. Some things are worth the price. Unfortunately there are still things that are simply overpriced. This video even caught my daughters attention, and we had a nice conversation about racing. Win Win!
Really cool to see some things are still made in the U.S.A. Amazing that Moroso can compete against copy-cat importers of foreign junk.
