Founded in 1914, BORGESON began by manufacturing universal joints for lathes and milling machines. By the 1920s, Ford was using our universal joints for steering some unusual vehicles they were developing.

Prior to a change in ownership in 1982, BORGESON had been supplying steering universal joints for racing vehicles for many years. Since that time, we have developed our needle bearing universal joints into the most reliable, smoothest operating, strongest for their size, u-joints available today.

Today, BORGESON is the leading manufacturer and supplier of aftermarket steering universal joints in the Street Rod, Racing, Specialty Automotive and Pickup Truck markets. Seeking to expand, Borgeson purchased Mullins Steering Gears in 2001. Previous to the purchase, Mullins had been providing the street rod industry with quality rebuilt steering boxes and a full line of aluminum accessories for over 17 years. Our first joint project was the collapsible Rod Column which was honored with the National Street Rod Association 2001 Safety Product of the year award.

Our manufacturing facility is located at 91 Technology Park Drive Torrington, Connecticut . The plant was designed and built to offer the highest efficiency and production capacity to better serve our customers. This modern facility contains 50,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space. We use the latest manufacturing and inventory control procedures, and take great pride in shipping most orders the same day we receive them if placed by 3:30 PM Eastern Time. Our technical staff includes employees with over 20 years experience in the design and application of steering assemblies.

We are a company that listens to our customers, whether an individual or a manufacturer. We respond to their input by developing needed innovations to help increase the safety of steering systems. This dedication to safety has been recognized by the National Street Rod Association's Safety Product of the Year Award in 1992 and Street Rod Manufacturer of the Year Award in 1995.
