What Kiski Precision Industries does

Kiski Precision Industries is a Pittsburgh-area (Leechburg, PA) contract manufacturer operating from an 85,000-square-foot, four-building climate-controlled campus with 68 employees. The company provides turnkey precision manufacturing services under one roof, including CNC machining (5-axis, horizontal machining centers with pallet systems, CNC lathes with live tooling), TIG/MIG/stick welding, wire and conventional EDM, precision grinding, in-house heat treating (six furnaces up to 2,200°F), electromechanical assembly, wiring and cable harnesses, and CMM-based quality inspection using Zeiss O-Inspect and Faro Edge systems. Two proprietary product lines — Welded Machine Bases and Custom Enclosures — complement the contract services, with Custom Enclosures being one of the few areas where Kiski performs in-house design. The company operates as a subsidiary of Aerotech Inc., which provides access to over 300,000 square feet of additional manufacturing capacity including a 65,000-square-foot machine shop located 30 minutes from headquarters.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and direct: customers engage through a Request a Quote page or phone, a dedicated Sales Executive manages accounts, and trade show attendance plus onsite customer visits supplement the funnel. Pricing is fully quote-based with no minimum order requirements, supporting both prototype and production volumes. Primary customer segments are Aerospace & Defense, Energy & Technology, Industrial & Manufacturing, Robotics, and Medical & Life Sciences, with secondary exposure to Transportation, Glass, and Metals. Named customers include Emerson and Shotts, both of whom cite the one-stop, turnkey delivery model as the differentiator.

Kiski is pursuing ISO 9001, AS9100, and CMMC Level 2 certifications to expand into aerospace and federal defense while maintaining ITAR registration. Workforce development is supported through a four-year NTMA-certified apprenticeship program led by a 35-year veteran. Revenue is undisclosed, the company is privately held, and no funding rounds or M&A activity are present in the available data.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Precision CNC Machining Custom CNC and manual machining services including 5-axis, 4th-axis, and horizontal machining with pallet systems. Works with carbon steel, tool steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, Inconel, nickel alloys, copper, and plastics for complex to simple parts.
• Welding & Fabrication TIG, MIG, and stick welding services for steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and cast products. Expert welders evaluate weld strength, ease of application, and material suitability; forms the backbone of welded machine bases and custom enclosures.
• Electromechanical Assembly Complete system builds from sourced components through final testing in a climate-controlled assembly area. Delivers finished machines, not just parts, with turnkey integration of machined components, mechanical assemblies, and electronic subsystems.
• Wiring & Cable Harnesses Custom cable assemblies and harnesses for industrial and defense applications. Built from electrical designs rather than drawings, with soldering, crimping, testing, and label printing capabilities.
• EDM Services Wire, conventional, and hole drilling EDM services with tight geometric tolerances, fine surface finishes, and a large work envelope (29" x 21" x 10"). Wire cut size down to 0.006" with capability down to 0.004" wire diameter.
• Precision Grinding Precision grinding services including wet grinding, surface grinding, jig grinding, and cylindrical grinding for tight tolerances and superior surface finishes in temperature-controlled conditions.
• Quality & Testing In-house CMM inspection and testing using Zeiss O-Inspect 322 CMM and Faro Edge portable CMM, supported by a full complement of manual inspection tools. Performs in-process inspection during production rather than only at the end.
• Welded Machine Bases Structural steel machine bases available in Standard, Advanced, and Custom configurations. Built with 3x3 or 4x4 steel tubing, powder-coat finish, and various tabletop options supporting loads from a few thousand pounds to over 20,000 lbs.
• Custom Enclosures Customer-designed and fabricated enclosures for protecting equipment, managing airflow, visibility, and access needs. One of the few areas where Kiski Precision handles the design work themselves, from concept to fabrication.
