Star Precision

What Star Precision does

Star Precision Manufacturing, Inc. is a privately held, ISO 9001:2015 registered contract manufacturer operating a single 108,000 sq. ft. facility in Frederick, Colorado. The firm provides a vertically integrated one-stop manufacturing solution combining precision sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, finishing services, and mechanical assembly for OEM customers. Its equipment base includes Amada America turret punches with lights-out capability, Amada laser welders, ten press brakes with bed lengths from 2.5 to 14 feet, multi-axis CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers, and a fully automated powder coating conveyor line rated at 6,000 lbs per hour. Quality assurance is anchored by a Zeiss Eclipse 4084-24 CNC coordinate measuring machine and a Fabrivision flatbed scanner, supporting tight-tolerance work down to +/-.00004 inch repeatability on critical components.

The company serves 16 end markets, with aerospace, defense, medical, scientific instruments, general industrial, and architectural metals positioned as primary verticals and data storage, telecommunications, power supply, alternative energy, food service, utilities, commercial lighting, solar energy, ornamental metals, and recreational vehicles as secondary segments. Pricing is project-specific and quote-driven; customers submit RFQs through the website's Get a Quote portal with PDF drawings and STEP/IGS/x_t CAD models. Distribution is direct to OEMs through a sales-led field motion, with no channel partners, resellers, or distributors.

The firm makes money through one-time build-to-print contracts and production-volume runs billed per part or project, with revenue streams spanning custom sheet metal, precision machining, finishing services, architectural metals, and mechanical assembly. It holds no disclosed external funding, operates no parent company or subsidiaries, and is exclusively domestic (USA). Active hiring of skilled trade labor, capital investment in equipment and ERP systems, and the recent addition of an Architectural Metals service line indicate ongoing capacity and scope expansion, though no financial disclosures or revenue figures are publicly available to quantify the trajectory.
