Meet our family
Founded in the late 19th century, Torrington has operated for more than a hundred years, changing names and ownership several times along the way. That period of transition ended in 1988, when Mr. Theodor Zaharia acquired the company from Ingersoll-Rand. He remains its active president today. Torrington is now a family-owned and family-run business, with both of Mr. Zaharia’s sons working alongside him to serve clients and guide the company’s growth.
Â
That continuity of ownership is matched by continuity within the team. Our approximately 20, engineers, assemblers and team members work to a single standard of quality. Many have been with Torrington for 10 years, some for more than 35. That depth of experience is why every machine leaving our facility is backed by people who take direct responsibility for it. Torrington metal-forming equipment serves customers in approximately 30 countries, including demanding sectors such as defense and automotive. For us, family means accountability: to one another, to our clients, and to the name on every machine.

Every Torrington project starts with a conversation. We would welcome yours.

The Torrington tradition
More than a century of machine manufacturing
​
For more than a century, Torrington has built forming equipment on one principle: reliability. We source quality components, hold every machine to a single standard of workmanship, and stand behind each unit we ship. Machines delivered as early as 1897 are still in service today.
That discipline has built a tradition of dependable performance and responsive customer service.
