Modern Cam & Tool was started by my father, Don Bitters, in 1971. He had previous experience in the screw machine industry as general manager of a company named Modern Collett. Modern Collett was a screw machine rebuilder and parts supplier for many years. Eventually the owners of the Modern Collett decided to abandon what they saw was a dying industry and sold the assets of to my father, who renamed the business. We have no doubt benefited from the acquisition of several Mazak horizontal and vertical CNC machining centers, developing our own proprietary cam generating software, acquiring new technology such as our Romer PCMM and Stratasys Dimension 3D printer. However, I believe we have benefited most from the lesson of my fathers unwavering commitment to providing our customers with the proper cams to keep the screw machine industry competitive and viable.
