What Mass does
MASS Precision, Inc. is a privately held contract manufacturer founded in 1984 and headquartered in Silicon Valley, providing integrated metal fabrication and electro-mechanical assembly (EMS) services to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 contract manufacturers. The company operates through six interconnected service lines: Design and 3D Modeling, Fabrication and Sheet Metal, CNC Machining, Welding, Painting and Silk Screen, and Electro-Mechanical Assembly, supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) and high mix/low volume production. It serves verticals including electronics, computing, telecommunications, semiconductor, transportation, energy, and medical devices.
The company's production stack centers on CNC precision manufacturing, with over 50 CNC mills and lathes, 150+ total machines, and 500+ employees. Differentiated equipment includes the Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 with flow drilling capability (stated as unique on the West Coast), DMU-50 5-axis machining, AG600L Wire EDM with Sodick linear motor technology, 5-axis waterjet cutting, and robotic welding cells using Motoman SK16X welders. Quality systems are certified to ISO 9001:2015 (since 1993 across San Jose, Mexico, and Malaysia), ISO 13485:2016, UL, FDA, and ITAR, supporting medical-device and defense customer requirements.
MASS Precision generates revenue through project-based contract manufacturing engagements with enterprise OEMs and Tier 1 contract manufacturers, operating in both Silicon Valley's high-mix/low-volume NPI environment and low-cost-region high-volume production. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales, with Program Managers embedded in customer engineering and materials departments. The company runs a global footprint spanning San Jose (two facilities), Fremont (California), Jalisco (Mexico, since 2008), and Penang (Malaysia, since 2022), enabling the transition of mature programs to lower-cost geographies while retaining local Silicon Valley support for new product introduction. Pricing is quote-based per project with a $350 minimum order, Net 30 payment terms, and quotations valid for 30 days.

Mass competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Xometry: Digital marketplace aggregating precision CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and other custom manufacturing services — directly competes for MASS's NPI/high-mix-low-volume and prototyping business through an asset-light model.
- Fictiv: Software-enabled manufacturing platform providing on-demand CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and injection molding — competes for the same prototype and low-volume enterprise orders that drive MASS's NPI revenue.
Broad incumbents
- Flex (Flextronics): Largest-scale global EMS and contract manufacturer; competes for OEM design-through-assembly programs in computing, communications, medical, and industrial — broader portfolio and far greater scale than MASS.
- Jabil: One of the largest global EMS providers with broad capabilities in design, fabrication, precision machining, and assembly across virtually every end market MASS serves — competing for the same enterprise OEM business at much greater scale.
- Celestica: Large global Tier-1 EMS serving communications, enterprise, industrial, and aerospace customers — operates at materially larger scale but competes for the same OEM assembly and fabrication programs.
- Foxconn (Hon Hai Precision): The world's largest EMS; though overwhelmingly focused on consumer electronics and much larger than MASS, Foxconn competes for similar enterprise OEM metal/assembly work and represents a directional ceiling on TAM.
Direct peers
- Benchmark Electronics: Mid-market EMS provider serving aerospace, medical, industrial, and semiconductor-equipment OEMs with design, precision machining, and assembly — comparable in scale, customer verticals, and mix of NPI/volume production.
- Creation Technologies: Mid-market EMS and precision manufacturing services provider with similar end-market focus (medical, industrial, aerospace/defense) and comparable mix of low-volume high-mix and full-rate production.
- Sanmina Corporation: Global Tier-1 EMS and contract manufacturer offering integrated design, fabrication, machining, and assembly services to OEMs across medical, industrial, automotive, and communications — the closest scaled, end-to-end analogue to MASS Precision.
- Kimball Electronics: Global contract manufacturing services company focused on durable-goods end markets including medical, industrial, and automotive — comparable EMS business model and customer base to MASS.
