R.B. Enterprises

What R.B. Enterprises does

R.B. Enterprises is a privately-held precision machining company founded in 1983 and headquartered in Mukilteo, Washington. The firm operates as a full-service machine shop serving aerospace, medical, computer/electronics, marine, laser, commercial, tooling, and prototyping customers. Its enterprise customer roster includes Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Blue Origin, Panasonic Avionics, Cray, BMW/Oracle Racing, and government agencies such as NOAA, with parts shipped across Washington State, the broader U.S., and Canada.

The company's core technology stack centers on multi-axis CNC machining (including 5-axis Haas VF2ss, Fanuc Robodrill, and Fanuc DNM 200 machines), CNC lathes, and precision inspection equipment such as a Micro-Hite 3D coordinate measuring machine with Tesastar-I probe and PCDMIS CAD software calibrated to NIST standards. All vertical machining centers carry 4th axis capability, and the company offers material sourcing and processing as part of an integrated service. Quality credentials include three Boeing Supplier of the Year awards (2012, 2014, 2017) and seven consecutive Gold Performance Excellence Awards (2012-2018), positioning R.B. among an elite tier of Boeing's 23,000+ supplier base.

R.B. Enterprises generates revenue through custom, quote-based B2B manufacturing contracts for both prototype short-run and production-volume orders. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per project. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales with direct relationships to prime contractors and OEMs, supported by earned media through industry awards rather than active marketing. The company employs 27 people, holds an A+ credit rating within the machining industry, and operates without institutional or venture capital backing under sole ownership of Binh Mach, who grew the business from 6 to 27 employees.
