What We Machine From
Every major
manufacturing
form.
Most shops specialize in one input and send you elsewhere for the rest. We machine across all five — raw to finished, to spec, every time.
Die Castings
Aluminum · Zinc · Magnesium
Tighten critical tolerances, machine complex features, and deliver production-ready components with consistent repeatability.
Forgings
Steel · Titanium · Aluminum alloy
Transform forged blanks into precision components with accurate dimensions, tight tolerances, and superior surface finishes.
Stampings
Steel · Brass · Copper
Add precision tapped holes, milled features, and critical flatness to high-volume stamped parts.
Bar Stock
Carbon steel · Stainless · Alloy
Turn and mill complex geometries from solid stock for high-strength, precision-critical applications.
Extrusions
Aluminum profiles
Cut to length and machine mounting features, structural connections, and precision interfaces into raw extrusions.

Quality & Inspection
Inspected.
Documented.
Approved.
A part is only finished when someone proves it's right. We measure on CMM and custom gauging, document to Level 5 PPAP under an IATF 16949 system, and run approval inspections on two continents — so nothing ships on a guess and nothing waits on a transatlantic shipment.
Certifications
Inspection Technology
CMM, fixed gauging, custom computer-aided gauging, and dimensional scanner technology — measurement at every stage.
Documentation
FMEA control plans and full PPAP documentation. Level 5 capable — every document, every time.
Certifications
ISO 9001:2015 across the network. IATF 16949 at Saltillo. NMSDC minority-certified.
PPAP on Two Continents
Getting a part approved used to mean shipping it overseas and waiting. We run PPAP inspections in-house at the plant in Mexico and at our European facility in Poland — European customers get approval results without a transatlantic round trip.
Why Metrics Works
Nearshore economics.
Domestic timelines.
Fulfillment behind it.
Most suppliers make you choose between price and speed. We're built to deliver both — nearshore labor costs, U.S.-aligned lead times, and a 3PL network already behind every order.
The Nearshore Advantage
Lead time to U.S. customer
Facilities across two countries
Parts capacity, Saltillo floor
Fulfillment behind every order
Typical Offshore
Lower cost · higher risk
Typical Domestic
Fast turnaround · premium price
