Clamonta was founded in 1954 as a manufacturer of machined components for industrial and marine gas turbines. The company expanded into the aerospace industry in the early 90s and specialised in the manufacture of lockplates for the Rolls-Royce Trent series of engines. Using innovative methods, Clamonta were able to completely machine these parts which had traditionally been pressed/machined offering much greater accuracy but at reduced cost. The business expanded rapidly and in 1999 it moved to its present site which has 20,000 square feet of manufacturing space. In 2007 Clamonta became part of Symmetry Medical Inc which has sites worldwide manufacturing medical and aerospace components. Today Clamonta manufactures over 4000 different parts from simple turned to complex prismatic components.
