Precision Ladders, LLC has evolved from a company named Precision Parts Corporation that was founded in Nashville, Tennessee in 1942. During Precision’s early days in Nashville, the firm was engaged in war work and continued until the end of World War II in machining gray-iron castings and steel forgings to an extremely close tolerance and with the high degree of skill required of precision parts – hence the company name. In 1944, as the work for both the Army and Navy expanded, Precision worked for a time as a subcontractor for the Tennessee Eastman Corporation on the Atomic Energy Program at Oak Ridge.
