Hillcrest Camshaft Service began in 1955 in the historic Hillcrest neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas in a 4200 sq. ft. building with five employees.  Our equipment list included a Storm Vulcan and Landis cam grinder with a couple of polishing lathes.  The primary products in those early years were automotive and light truck camshafts.  In the late 1970’s Hillcrest moved to a new location with 11 employees and over 12,000 square feet.  It was in this location that the company started expanding their services to industrial camshafts and gained customers such as Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar Inc., Marine Systems, NREC, Cummins Inc., and Union Pacific Railroad.
