J&E Precision Tool

What J&E Precision Tool does

J&E Precision Tool, LLC is a precision CNC machining and contract manufacturing company headquartered in Southampton, Massachusetts, founded in 1979 by brothers Jim and Eugene Labrie. The company specializes in producing small to medium-sized components and assemblies holding tolerances as tight as +/- 0.0001 inch, serving aerospace, defense, marine, medical, and broader manufacturing customers. Its core technology footprint includes 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC milling machines, 10 lathes, a 7-axis milling and turning center, CNC OD/ID grinding, EDM, and grinding/honing/lapping finishing processes, housed primarily in a 45,000 square foot modern facility constructed in 2001 and expanded in 2009. J&E holds AS9100 Rev D aerospace certification, ISO 9001:2015 certification (reissued April 2025), and ITAR registration with the U.S. Department of State — prerequisite qualifications for Tier 1 aerospace and defense prime contractor supply chains.

The company operates a B2B contract manufacturing business model, generating revenue through project-based Request for Quote (RFQ) engagements under multi-year contracts with enterprise customers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined on a per-quote basis. The go-to-market is direct sales via the company website, email, and phone, with no intermediary distribution channels. Since 2020, J&E has been backed by LFM Capital and operates as part of the Alloy Company precision manufacturing platform. In April 2021, J&E simultaneously acquired Alloy Specialties (Westfield, MA — adding broaching, OD/ID grinding, and exotic materials expertise) and Beranek (Torrance, CA — adding rocket motor and missile support systems manufacturing for the aerospace/space and communications verticals), bringing total headcount across the platform to approximately 120 employees. The company also operates a proprietary Q-Notes quality documentation system used to flow customer-specific requirements through its vendor supply chain. CEO Sean Holly leads the business.
