Jake's

What Jake's does

Jake's Inc. is a privately held, family-owned full-service contract manufacturer based in Aurora, Illinois, operating for over 30 years under the motto 'Pride in Precision.' The company delivers custom metal fabrication, precision CNC machining, manual and robotic welding, UL 142-certified above-ground fuel tank manufacturing, mechanical/industrial engineering (including reverse engineering via CMM and laser scanning), and quality inspection with CMM and non-destructive testing (MT, UT, RT). It serves industrial manufacturing, fuel & energy, and construction/agriculture equipment customers, producing earth-moving, mining, locomotive, and industrial-emission components; structural foundations; fuel and water manifolds; pipe fittings; and pressure-tested assemblies.

The company's technical footprint is anchored by the Midwest's largest 6,000-watt laser cutter (12' x 40' bed, up to 1" cut), a 12' x 50' plasma table (2" cut), a 12' x 50' oxy-fuel cutter (12" cut), press brakes up to 750 tons, 14' plate rolling, and CNC turning, milling, and grinding equipment capable of tolerances to .0002 inches. Certifications (ISO 9001:2015 Registration #3659, UL 142, ASME IX, AWS D1.1, in-house AWS C.W.I.) and a Certified Weld Inspector on staff gate regulated, code-bound work. Modular fixturing, 100% leak testing, full material/serial traceability, and an in-house CMM and laser-scanning reverse-engineering workflow support one-roof production of parts that competitors reportedly decline.

Revenue mechanics are entirely project-based and quote-driven, with no public pricing and a sales-led go-to-market executed through direct engagement, custom quotations, and an owned truck fleet for regional pickup and delivery. Customers span multiple industrial verticals with no disclosed logo concentration, and the leadership team is a four-generation Krippelz family bench (President, VP, Manufacturing Engineer, Machining Supervisor). No funding rounds, M&A, or external ownership events are disclosed, and revenue, headcount, and growth-rate figures are not publicly available.
