Founded in 1890 by Joseph Oliver, the company gained early recognition designing and manufacturing the finest machinery in the world. Since 1890, OLIVER has produced more than 200,000 machine tools.

Incorporating modern technologies, in the 60’s,OLIVER produced machines that processed steel and exotic metals for a customer list that included the most recognized names in the commercial and aerospace industries. Materials processed using OLIVER machinery can be found on the B-1 and Stealth bombers, space capsules and virtually all commercial and military aircraft flying today.

Although separated from OLIVER Machinery Company in 1985, OLIVER Racing Parts draws from more than a century of manufacturing expertise to create what has been called the ultimate I-beam connecting rod. Using CAD (computer aided design) with refinements provided by FEA (Finite Element Analysis), OLIVER has created a new benchmark in quality. Oliver billet and forged steel rods are widely used in NASCAR, Nextel Cup and Busch Grand National cars, NHRA Drag Racing, short track, truck and tractor pulling—in addition to world speed record vehicles at both the Bonneville salt flats and in offshore power boat racing.
