What LAMJEN does
LAMJEN, Inc. is a privately held precision CNC and manual machining contract manufacturer founded in 1968 and headquartered at 2254 E 30th St in Erie, Pennsylvania. The company operates as a subsidiary within Custom Group Industries, alongside sister companies Custom Engineering (large-scale metal fabrication up to 160,000 lbs in a 200,000+ sq ft facility) and Venango Machine Company (platen manufacturing since 1954). LAMJEN employs between 11 and 50 people and serves industrial customers in transportation, oil & gas, power generation, mining, entertainment, and aerospace, with active expansion into military, medical, and renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro) segments.
The company's core technology is a fleet of over a dozen CNC machines — Okuma vertical and horizontal machining centers, Okuma and Haas CNC turning centers with live tooling, a 5-axis Okuma MB-80V bridge mill added in 2022, large-diameter turning up to 40 inches, Blanchard rotary grinding on a 72-inch table, and manual lathes and mills — supported by an in-house quality assurance department with a Brown & Sharpe CMM and a Faro Gauge arm at +/- 0.0003 accuracy. LAMJEN machines ferrous and non-ferrous materials including exotic alloys such as Inconel, Monel, Nitronic, and titanium, and holds NQA ISO 9001:2015, ASME (S) and (U), Nadcap AC7004 aerospace quality, Nadcap QML welding, National Board NB and R, and ITAR certifications.
LAMJEN operates a sales-led, project-based contract manufacturing model with quote-driven pricing, multi-year contracts, and turnkey delivery spanning CNC machining, fabrication, welding (TIG, MIG, FCAW, SAW, Inconel overlays), heat treating, painting and coating (SSPC Level II), inventory management, assembly, and shipping. Customer supply-chain integration is provided through Infor Visual, SAP Ariba, Kanban, and Supply Chain Connect. The company does not disclose revenue, does not have public listing, has no recorded funding rounds, and relies on its certifications, equipment breadth, and Custom Group Industries ecosystem as its principal sources of differentiation.

LAMJEN competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Xometry: Publicly traded on-demand manufacturing marketplace that aggregates thousands of job shops (including CNC machining shops) to fulfill customer orders. Competes for the same contract machined parts demand as LAMJEN but acts as a digital intermediary rather than an in-house manufacturer.
- Proto Labs: Publicly traded digital manufacturer offering CNC machining, injection molding, and 3D printing with an automated quoting platform. Comparable in that it sells contract machined parts to industrial customers, but operates at far greater scale and with a software-led GTM motion.
- Hubs (formerly 3D Hubs): Global on-demand manufacturing platform offering CNC machining, injection molding, and sheet metal fabrication services to engineers and procurement teams. Overlaps with LAMJEN on contract machined component demand for industrial customers across similar end markets.
Direct peers
- Astro Machine Works: US contract machining and fabrication shop specializing in CNC milling, turning, and custom precision components for aerospace, defense, and industrial customers. Comparable mid-sized job shop profile with similar diversification across regulated, high-tolerance work.
- Metal Craft Machine & Engineering: Midwest-based contract machine shop offering CNC milling, turning, and EDM services for aerospace, medical, and industrial customers. Comparable in scale, certification posture, and customer mix to LAMJEN's contract machining business.
- Precision Machined Products (PMP): Pennsylvania-based precision machining manufacturer producing custom components for automotive, industrial, and fluid power markets. Similar mid-market contract machining business model with comparable emphasis on tight tolerances and engineered component supply.
- Custom Engineering: Sister company within Custom Group Industries, also based in Erie, PA. Specializes in large-scale contract metal fabrication up to 160,000 lbs including pressure vessels and hydraulic press platens, complementing LAMJEN's precision machining with heavy fabrication capability.
