H & M Machine

What H & M Machine does

H & M Machine Inc. is a family-owned CNC machining job shop founded in 1966 and headquartered in Greendale, Wisconsin. The company operates across at least two generations of family ownership, with the 3rd generation currently active following the 2023 passing of 2nd-generation co-owner Allen Peter Hock. It serves Midwest manufacturers through contract machining services.

The company's core offerings are CNC turning, CNC vertical milling, and CNC horizontal milling, with a 4-axis CNC horizontal machining center as a higher-complexity capability. It supplements these with a menu of Value-Added Services including welding, heat treating, plating, and grinding, allowing customers to consolidate secondary operations with a single supplier. Production is supported by equipment from Mori Seiki, Smart, and Weiler, and engineering is performed with Virtual Gibbs CAM software for toolpath generation and process planning.

H & M Machine generates revenue through quote-based contract manufacturing, with pricing driven by machine time, material, complexity, and secondary operations. Go-to-market is predominantly regional and relationship-driven, with a website-based quote request channel as the primary digital inbound motion. The customer base is described as Midwest manufacturers, with explicit exclusion of the automotive sector; no named enterprise customers or repeat-buyer logos are publicly disclosed.

Core offering

H & M Machine Inc is a CNC machining job shop providing custom CNC turning, CNC vertical milling, and CNC horizontal milling services for Midwest manufacturers. The shop handles both one-off prototypes and larger production runs with tight tolerances, supported by value-added finishing (welding, heat treating, plating, grinding, EDM, anodizing) and on-site support equipment. Pricing is quote-based on drawings and specifications submitted via phone or the website.

Product overview

H & M Machine Inc operates as a one-stop machine shop offering CNC machining services as a unified portfolio of core manufacturing capabilities. The core offerings consist of CNC Turning (up to 32-inch swing by 118 CC), CNC Vertical Milling (up to 60 by 27 by 27 inches), and CNC Horizontal Milling (4-inch spindle with 59 by 39-inch travel and rotary table). These three CNC machining services form the foundation of the business, supported by Value-Added Services (welding, heat treating, plating, grinding, EDM, anodizing, and other finishing processes) and Support Equipment (manual machining, material handling, and precision measurement tools). The company serves small-quantity prototyping through large-scale production runs.
