IN THE BEGINNING .......THE WILLRICH STORY

The Company was formed in 1971 by Richard G Chitos and William T Sheely Their dream was to form a company dedicated solely to precision measuring equipment.

The business began in a spare room and later moved to a trailer in the back of a parking lot. The Will (William Sheely) of Willrich was an Air Force Bomber, he was a purple heart recipient in WW II.

Will sold the business to his young energetic partner Rich in 1985. Rich continued to build the company offering customers precision measurement equipment along with exceptional service and vast metrology knowledge for the next 20 years. The company remains in the family and is owned and operated by his two sons George and Richard D Chitos.

Today, Willrich Precision has grown to be an ISO:9001:2015 and ISO-17025 Accredited company with offices and showrooms in both Cresskill, NJ and Paradise, PA, servicing clients from the Middle Atlantic States to Nationwide.

We are still proud of our meager beginnings and remain dedicated to the dream of offering Metrology expertise, customer care and responsiveness. Quality in every sense remains the company focus.

Our thanks to all of our valued customers, we could not have done it without you.

Congratulations on a great 50 years of service to our industry
