About Metal Industries, Inc.
Metal Industries, Inc. operates from Hartford, Connecticut, where it has been machining parts since the 1940s. The business began as Metropolitan Tool and Machine Company, founded by Vincent D. Zito at the current location on Wethersfield Avenue. The company produced components for U.S. troops during World War II. Vincent A. Zito took over in the 1950s and incorporated the firm as Metal Industries, Inc. in 1965. The shop later manufactured radiator cooling components for the Mercury Space Program space suits from 1958 to 1963. Today, the third generation, led by Vincent M. Zito, runs the operation. The facility functions as a full-service machine shop equipped with CNC and manual lathes capable of 36-inch diameter and 17-foot length, 4-axis CNC and manual milling machines, and surface, OD, and ID grinders. It offers precision machining, engineered metal and ceramic coatings (including oxy-acetylene powder, twin arc metallizing, Rokide, and plasma arc processes), welding and fabrication (MIG, TIG, stick, brazing, silver soldering), component repair, reverse engineering, short- and long-run production, and two-plane dynamic balancing. Materials processed include steel, aluminum, bronze, plastics, and composites. Customers span commercial, municipal, government, industrial, and agricultural sectors, with historical work for the aerospace industry on the Mercury program. The shop serves OEMs, provides spare parts, and handles repairs for hard-to-find components, offering emergency service outside normal hours to reduce downtime. The company emphasizes its third-generation experience, creative problem-solving, and precise workmanship as differentiators, aiming to exceed expectations on jobs of any size.
