Capabilities
Full-service fabrication,
one accountable partner.
CNC Cutting
Precision profiles cut in steel, stainless, and aluminum — held to ±0.005″ across prototype and production runs.
Press Brake Forming
High-volume CNC bending with repeatable accuracy — complex geometries formed right the first time, every time.
Welding & Assembly
MIG and TIG welding plus mechanical assembly — parts arrive finished, fixtured, and ready for your line.
CMM Inspection
Coordinate-measuring quality assurance on every critical dimension — documentation included with your parts.
Finishing Support
Powder coat, plating, and deburring coordinated through vetted partners — one PO, one point of contact.
Prototype → Production
From first article to full-scale runs without re-sourcing — the same team, tooling, and tolerances throughout.

FAQ
Common questions
What file formats can I submit for a quote?
We accept STEP, DXF, DWG, and PDF drawings. Send whatever you have — our engineering team will review for manufacturability and respond within one business day.
What materials do you work with?
Carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in a wide range of gauges. If your project calls for something else, ask — we’ll tell you straight whether it’s a fit.
Do you handle low-volume or prototype runs?
Yes. We take projects from first-article prototypes through full production, so you never have to re-source as volumes grow.
How do you ensure quality?
In-process checks at every station plus CMM inspection of critical dimensions before shipment. Inspection documentation ships with your parts.
What areas do you serve?
We’re based in Carol Stream, Illinois and serve manufacturers across the Midwest, with shipping available nationwide.
