In 1918 Randall Graphite, Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware Corporation doing business in Chicago, Illinois. In the mid 1930s Randall developed the graphite lubricated Pillow Blocks and began another growth cycle that continued until the end of World War II. The use of graphite to supplement oil in the lubrication of sleeve bearings had become the norm and Randall needed more room if growth was to continue.

In 1949 Randall purchased the assets of Shook Bronze in Lima, Ohio and moved all manufacturing from Chicago to Lima. The name of the company was changed to Randall Graphite Bearings, Inc. This move provided Randall with a sand and centrifugal foundry and another growth period followed. In 1965 the name was changed to Randall Bearings, Inc. as it is known today. Randall remained a strong force in the Bronze Bearing industry throughout the 1970s and continued to grow and prosper. The early 1980s were difficult years for American foundries and Randall made the decision in 1985 to close all foundry operations and to concentrate on improving the machining end of the business.

Since 1985 Randall has grown to become one of the premier machine shops in our industry. The completion of our Quality Control Lab in 2000 has placed us in a superior position to continue our growth and to expand into new markets in the coming years.

In 2006 Randall opened a state of the art machining facility in Coldwater, Ohio. Along with the Lima, Ohio location, these two facilities will help Randall continue to be a leader in world class machining and customer satisfaction.

2009 Randall has inventoried a whole new line of sintered parts to meet the needs of current and new customers. Combined with Randall's standard sintered products offered, this new inventory of sintered part sizes will provide customers with some of the best pricing available.
