One supplier from raw material to finished part

We buy the material, machine it and coordinate any finishing, subassembly or secondary processes, so your sourcing team manages one Tier 1 supplier and receives a finished component.

Parts for oil rigs, mining trucks and vehicles

Strategic Cell Migration™

Your cell moves to York and keeps making the same parts.

We move your machine tools and shop knowledge to our campus and run your parts with the same tooling, CNC programs and proven processes you use today. Capital and floor space in your plant go back to the work that sets your business apart, and with over 21 line transfers behind us, typical savings run 20 to 30% for complex parts compared with in-house production.

Six Sigma quality, planned before the first chip

Every part goes through APQP before we cut metal, and complete PPAP documentation shows the process repeats. Our Kaizen program has run for 20 years and ties every employee-owner’s ideas to yearly profit sharing, and we have held ISO 9001 certification since 2004.
