What Metalcraft Industries does

Metalcraft Industries, Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned precision metal components manufacturer headquartered in Westminster (Denver metro), Colorado, with an additional wholly owned subsidiary, Northwest Metalcraft, in Washington State. The company was incorporated under its current name in 2001 by Jack Caschette, spinning the Colorado operations off from the predecessor Genesee Wester; the broader Caschette enterprise traces back to A&J Tool and Manufacturing, a tool-and-die shop founded in Rochester, New York in the mid-1940s by Joseph Caschette and Alfred Zillioux. Current operations are led by third-generation family members Darrin Caschette (Washington State subsidiary) and Larry Caschette (Denver operation).

The company functions as a single-source contract manufacturer combining CNC machining, precision sheet metal fabrication, and metal stamping under one roof — described as the only such combination in Colorado. Technical capabilities include multi-function CNC machines holding tolerances to .0005 inches, a 4-kilowatt fiber-optic laser with 2D flying optics, robotic welding, progressive die stamping with 32 to 400 ton presses (the largest press-for-hire in Colorado at 400 tons), a Mazak HC 5000 horizontal machining center with 84-tool capacity, and a C.R. Onsrud 5-axis C-Series used for machining honeycomb cores for aerospace and defense. On-site nitrogen generation and lights-out 24/7 production capacity support throughput, while in-house tool and die production reduces per-unit costs. Certifications include CMMC Level 2, AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015 (through August 5, 2027), and ITAR registration.

Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales of one-off and recurring contract manufacturing work across aerospace, military defense, renewable energy, green technology, industrial manufacturing, medical, and lighting segments. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence; customers engage through the company website, phone, and engineering consultation. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales supported by content marketing (GD&T education, machining resources, reshoring content) and virtual facility tours, with primary customers being Tier 1 and Tier 2 U.S. and Canadian defense primes and aerospace manufacturers.
