HISTORY

Ian McBain founded Rockford Ball Screw in 1973 utilizing his years of experience in the industry with the goals of providing a quality product, on-time and at a competitive price. What started as a family business in the basement of the McBain home grew to a successful leader in the ball screw industry. It has continued to grow and thrive with Linda McGary (McBain) serving as president since 2006.

In 2009, Rockford Ball Screw added linear guide rails and blocks to its product range. Rockford Linear Motion compliments its product line with another linear motion tool. The high-performance product is provided with extremely short lead times, making it a perfect fit for RBS's customers.
