History<

Our industrial production life began prior to World War II, in a small machine shop in northern Spain, with 15 employees. The first machine built was a bench type hand mill.

Through the years many other models of milling machines and engine lathes have been added to our product line. We first introduced our products into the American market in 1960, shipping machines to importers who then sold our machines under their trade name.

In the year of 1965, we had a major expansion of our Spanish organization with a merger of other machine tool builders in Spain. It was decided by all concerned to establish an independent American organization. In 1968 Republic Machinery Company, Inc., was established in the State of California. In 1972 the name was changed more to our specific business, Republic Lagun Machine Tool Company.

In 1978, with the idea of selling special machines to United States Government Agencies, and to build CNC machines, Republic Lagun CNC Corp. was established as a separate Corporation.

We then started building explosion-proof machines for the Department of Defense. Using Spanish castings, and adding more than 60% American components, such as CNC controllers, ball screws, electronic components, special electric's, and engineering we were able to comply with “Built in America” standards.

The products subsequently evolved to more commercial and industrial applications, such as: aerospace, aircraft, automobile, mold & die shops, electronics', construction, and mining.

In 1997, the three main Spanish factories consolidated into a new company under the name Goratu Group. This merger gave the organization a broad range of possibilities these included: expanding the Research and Development Departments., larger commercialization channels, and an expanded product range.

In 1998 we began representing in the USA, the Zayer company (also from the North of Spain) with their fine line of CNC milling machines. Zayer Company line of machinery includes, CNC controlled bridge an gantry machines.

In 2000, we introduced to the American Market a high precision, column type, automatic and CNC surface grinders manufactured in central Germany by Giebel and Hotz, the former builders the Elb grinders.

Since our establishment, these companies have increased their manufacturing facilities to more than 500,000 square feet. Because of the acceptance of their products in the world market, our working force has grown to over 500 employees. Today, our success is seen in more than 45,000 vertical mills installed throughout the United States alone. We offer not only our machines, but also accessories and a complete line of the most desirable tools on the market at competitive prices. It is our firm commitment to give quality and value along with dependable service, today and always. We stock over $ 3,000,000 in parts and accessories. Today, proud customers owning a 30 year old Lagun vertical mill know that parts to keep them running are readily available from our stock.
