What Star Precision Fabricating Limited does

Star Precision Fabricating Limited (operating as Star Precision, LP) is a privately held, Houston-based contract manufacturer founded in 1992. The company operates two ultra-clean facilities in northwest Houston totaling approximately 105,000 sq ft, providing turnkey fabrication and assembly solutions to small businesses through Fortune 500 contract manufacturers and OEMs. Its service portfolio is organized into four integrated capabilities: fabrication (sheet metal fabrication and tube laser cutting), precision CNC machining, electronics assembly (PCBA, electro-mechanical assembly, and cable/wire harness assembly), and manufacturing support (DFM and CAD collaboration).

The underlying technology stack centers on advanced metal fabrication equipment, including CO2 and fiber optics laser cutting systems with automated load/unload cells capable of exceeding 4,000 inches per minute, fully programmable NC brakes with 14-foot bed length and 220-ton capacity, multi-axis CNC turning, 5-axis milling, wire EDM, and CMM-driven automated inspection. Electronics assembly lines include SMT, THT, and mixed-technology capability with SPI, AOI, AXI, conformal coating, and functional testing. The electronics workforce is certified to IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620, and J-STD-001, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification accredited by ANAB since 2019, enabling work for regulated industries such as medical laboratory equipment and traffic infrastructure.

The business model is project-based contract manufacturing revenue, with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rate cards; the company manages long-running customer relationships through inventory release and order management systems. Marketing is conducted almost entirely via a corporate website (star-precision.com) with Contact and Request a Quote funnels, supported by a careers page for hiring. End markets include utilities, traffic infrastructure, food processing, medical equipment, architectural metals, and general industrial, with named customers such as Panelmatic, Carmanah Technologies, Texican Specialty, Tortilla Master, and OFI Testing. Ownership is a Texas limited partnership with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity.
