Nuclead Co. Inc.
Established near Boston at the turn of the 20th century as the Cambridge Smelting Company, this family business provided quality lead products for the housing and plumbing industry for decades. As industry changed, and the demand for lead products diversified and became more sophisticated, so did the company. 
In 1981 the Nuclead Company incorporated, later partnering with Sharp Manufacturing to extend its product line into high technology markets. The integration of the two companies has allowed us to become an unparalleled source of lead and metal machined value-added products.
To handle business demand, a modern, climate controlled Nuclead warehouse was built in West Bridgewater, MA.
We can provide high quality CNC fabricated components and assembles within tolerances of 0.0001. Nuclead uses the latest CAD/CAM-assisted 3D software, CNC fabrication centers and inspection equipment calibrated to NIST standards to achieve this accuracy and quality.

Adhering to established quality control standards, Nuclead provides high quality materials for security systems, drilling and mining, electronics, medical and dental equipment, nuclear shielding and components for the aerospace and defense Industries.
