PIC Design was founded in 1954, operating as Precision Industrial Components, LLC. PIC Design was the first company to satisfy the need for pre-engineered gear products in the United States and was one of the original mechanical component "catalog" companies, inspiring many imitators. As the pioneer and leader in the field of precision gears and mechanical components, PIC has always maintained a very high standard of quality and service. PIC continues to stand above the competition by expanding beyond its diverse range of gear products, offering a one-stop shop for precision, high quality mechanical components.

Our plant is located in the Naugatuck Valley of Connecticut, an area known for its diverse manufacturing base. Our 35,000 square foot shop is equipped to manufacture your custom designs or high-volume orders. PIC Design's experienced staff supports our reputation for quality, evident by our loyal family of customers.

In 2008, PIC Design was purchased by RBC Bearings, a leader in the world of highly engineered bearing products. PIC Design’s manufacturing and applications engineering experience, combined with RBC Bearings’ global technical resources, provide our customers unsurpassed capabilities to satisfy their application demands.
