History

Nerjan Development Company was incorporated in 1969.

The family owned business started in the basement of the Zizzi family home in Connecticut in 1953. Frank, Nerjans founder, came from Italy to work at Reflectone Inc., an aircraft simulator manufacturer based in Stamford, CT.

After work, he would do machining in the basement of the family home, teaching his three sons the craft of manual precision machining on Bridgeports and manual lathes.

His youngest son Blake began learning machining at the age of 12. He started working in the business as a teenager and managed the complete operation as President for over 20 years after his father retired. Always at his side Chynthia, his wife, who worked for Nerjan for over 30 years as a bookkeeper.

In 2017, Fabian Geiger and his wife Anna Geiger from Germany acquired the company from the Zizzi Family.
