Custom Industrial Processing

What Custom Industrial Processing does

Custom Industrial Processing, Inc. was a privately held precision manufacturing services company founded in 1976 and headquartered at 336 State St, St. Marys, Pennsylvania. The company specialized in mechanical plating/galvanizing, resin impregnation, and medium-to-high-volume CNC machining services applied primarily to powder metal components and other metal parts requiring corrosion resistance, sealing, and precision finishing.

In 2025, Custom Industrial Processing was acquired by Phoenix Sintered Metals, LLC — itself a subsidiary of Varischetti Holdings, LP — and was rebranded as Phoenix Industrial Services, LLC. The acquisition extended Phoenix Sintered Metals' vertically integrated powder metallurgy platform downstream into precision CNC machining and specialty finishing, enabling a single-source offering from powder compaction through secondary machining and surface treatment.

The business operates a direct B2B enterprise sales motion with quote-based pricing, serving manufacturers across automotive (primary), outdoor power/recreation/agriculture, industrial, electrical, medical, sporting arms, and HVAC end-markets. Revenue mechanics are services-based (machining and finishing) plus hardware sales of finished components, with no disclosed pricing schedule and no public revenue figures.

Core offering

Custom Industrial Processing is a precision metal manufacturing services provider that delivers medium to high volume CNC machining, mechanical plating/galvanizing, and resin impregnation finishing for metal components. The company supports manufacturers across automotive, outdoor power, industrial, sporting arms, electrical, medical, and HVAC markets with one-stop production of fully-finished metal parts. Following its 2025 acquisition by Phoenix Sintered Metals, the operation continues in St. Marys, PA under the new name Phoenix Industrial Services, LLC.

Product overview

Custom Industrial Processing was acquired by Phoenix Sintered Metals, LLC and operates under Phoenix Industrial Services, LLC. The company provides precision medium to high volume CNC machining services combined with mechanical plating/galvanizing and resin impregnation finishing services. This strategic acquisition expanded Phoenix Sintered Metals' capabilities beyond powder metallurgy to include complementary CNC machining and metal finishing services.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Precision CNC Machining Services Medium to high volume precision CNC machining services for metal components, intended for industrial manufacturers in automotive, outdoor power, industrial, sporting arms, electrical, medical, and HVAC markets that need finished precision parts produced at scale.
• Mechanical Plating and Galvanizing Services Surface finishing services providing corrosion resistance and durability for powder metal and machined metal parts through mechanical plating and galvanizing processes, for manufacturers needing protected, long-life components.
• Resin Impregnation Services Sealant service applied to powder metal and porous metal parts to prevent porosity, enhance performance, and provide pressure-tightness or improved machinability, targeted at manufacturers using sintered or porous metal components.

Broad incumbents

• Bodycote: Global, publicly traded provider of heat treatment and specialist metal finishing services with dozens of plants across North America and worldwide. Overlaps with the mechanical plating/galvanizing portion of CIP's service line, but operates at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Hoeganaes Corporation (GKN Powder Metallurgy): Major global powder metals business producing metal powders, sintered components, and surface-engineered parts for automotive and industrial OEMs. A broader incumbent that competes with Phoenix Sintered Metals across the PM component value chain that Phoenix Industrial Services supports downstream.
• Carpenter Technology Corporation: Large specialty materials producer supplying engineered alloys, powder metal input stock, and precision components into aerospace, medical, and industrial end markets. Broader incumbent that competes with parts of Phoenix Sintered Metals' value chain (upstream alloy/feedstock and downstream precision components).

Direct peers

• MetalTek International: Custom metal components manufacturer spanning sand casting, investment casting, and machining for corrosion- and heat-resistant industrial applications. Comparable as a multi-process custom metal components supplier with in-house CNC machining, analogous to CIP's finishing/machining stack.
• Allied Sinterings: Custom powder metal parts producer serving automotive, hardware, and industrial end markets. Comparable to Phoenix Sintered Metals' PM production platform, and thus a competing supply source for the same sintered components the broader Phoenix/Phoenix Industrial stack delivers.
• Keystone Powdered Metal Company: Family-owned manufacturer of powder metal and sintered metal components serving automotive, industrial, and consumer markets. Closely mirrors Phoenix Sintered Metals' core PM business and competes for the same engineered-component programs that CIP-style CNC and finishing services support.
• Midwest Powder Metal Parts: Independent powder metallurgy parts manufacturer serving automotive, off-highway, and industrial OEMs in North America. Directly overlapping with Phoenix Sintered Metals for PM parts programs where secondary CNC machining and resin impregnation are part of the specification.
• FPM Heat Treating: Commercial heat treating and metal finishing services company serving aerospace, automotive, and industrial customers. Closely comparable to CIP's surface-finishing/secondary-process service line (mechanical plating, galvanizing, resin impregnation) and competes for similar contract finishing volumes.
• ASCO Sintering: Custom powder metallurgy parts manufacturer producing complex sintered components for automotive and industrial customers. Directly comparable to Phoenix Sintered Metals, the parent platform whose CIP acquisition brought in-house CNC machining and finishing capabilities ASCO typically must source separately.
• Symmco Inc. Powder metallurgy parts manufacturer serving industrial, automotive, and consumer markets with a Customer Focused - Solution Driven model analogous to Phoenix Sintered Metals. Directly relevant peer because both compete for engineered PM component work that may or may not include secondary machining.
