Legacy of a True Machine Shop

There’s a reason we come first to mind when our customers think of a ‘precision machine shop’. Some of them, we’ve been serving and supporting since the mid-1980’s. They know our principles of getting the jobs done, parts shipped, and ready to take on the next one while meeting strict quality standards.

  • Precision machining of all machinable plastics, aluminum, brass, bronze, steels and more
  • Expert material and engineering support
  • In-house production and machining experts
  • Strict quality control systems
  • First article inspections on every job
  • Contract machining from blanket orders and Kanban, to minimum order quantities and more.
