When you’re evaluating a manufacturing partner, there’s a long checklist to consider, from precision machining capabilities to certifications to quality control systems. These criteria often appear in audits or new customer interviews, and we’re proud to meet stringent requirements in all of these areas. But once the boxes are checked, how do you evaluate what can’t be captured in a spreadsheet?

Contract manufacturing offers significant advantages for companies that need consistent part production over an extended period of time. These agreements can reduce costs by offering customers pricing at scale and minimizing administrative tasks. However, the cost savings of contract manufacturing can disappear quickly if you don’t choose the right precision machine shop as a partner.

At Focused on Machining, we’re proud of our work as an aerospace and defense machine shop because it’s personal for us.

Now, Justin is passionate about supporting the men and women behind every mission in his work leading a CNC machine shop.

At Focused on Machining, we know that all of our customers are constantly searching for ways to improve their costs without compromising on quality. One strategy we often suggest is to consider our contract manufacturing services.

At Focused on Machining, we’ve spent years perfecting our lights-out capabilities as part of our production machining services.
