Over a Century of Precision
Geier & Bluhm was founded in 1907 in Troy, New York by instrument makers James Geier and Joseph Bluhm. Both founders brought European training in precision instrument manufacturing and quickly established a reputation for craftsmanship and innovation.
Our History
Our founders, James Geier and Joseph Bluhm, immigrated to this country in 1905. For the first two years, they worked as instrument makers at Hanna Manufacturing Company in Troy, New York. We believe this photo to be taken at that facility.
Founded in 1907, Geier &Bluhm was originally located at 670 River Street in Troy, New York. We occupied this small three-story building until 1956. The building still stands today.
Relocating to 594 River Street in Troy, New York, in 1956, we were able to increase our manufacturing capacity and expand our product lines of precision levels and leveling assemblies.
After joining HJM Precision in 2007, a new addition was constructed to their facilities, and we moved to our current location at 9 New Turnpike Road in Troy, New York, in 2012. Updated machining capabilities allow us to produce most of our components parts in-house.
Today the company continues to produce precision leveling components used in equipment around the world.
