NHBB

New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Inc. (NHBB) is a company founded in 1946 that specializes in high-performance bearings for aerospace, defense, high technology, and medical markets. It became a subsidiary of MinebeaMitsumi in 1985. NHBB offers ball and roller bearings, rod end and spherical bearings, and provides engineering and new product development services.

NHBB was founded in 1946 in Peterborough, NH, by Arthur N. Daniels and Pierre Wentworth. The company expanded its manufacturing operations twice in its first ten years. In 1956, it broke ground on a new manufacturing plant south of the village, which now serves as headquarters and manufacturing operations of the HiTech Division. In 1964, NHBB acquired Astro Bearing Company, a manufacturer of rod end and spherical bearing products, and relocated it to Laconia, NH in the early '70s. After nearly forty years as an independent company, NHBB was acquired by MinebeaMitsumi in 1985.
