Anderton Machining

What Anderton Machining does

Anderton Machining, LLC is a Michigan-based precision CNC machining manufacturer that produced large, complex, tight-tolerance components for heavy truck, defense, and off-highway vehicle applications. The company operated from a 110,000 square foot facility equipped with 80 large format CNC machining centers, holding IATF 16949 automotive quality certification, ITAR registration for federal defense work, and NIST 800-171 cybersecurity compliance — credentials collectively that qualify it as a Tier 1-2 supplier into commercial vehicle drivetrain and defense prime contractor programs.

The product portfolio centered on five core lines: high precision gears (including double helical idler gears with crown, tip modification and grind tolerances for mission-critical truck lines), large diameter CNC machining services, transmission parts, splines and teeth, and axle shafts. These parts address power transmission and drivetrain requirements in heavy equipment across North America. The website additionally surfaces construction and mining, agricultural, and oil and gas markets, indicating an intent to broaden the vertical mix. Documented capabilities include rush-turnaround execution — case studies reference rush orders on difficult gears completed in under one week for line-down situations — signaling a service-led rather than commodity positioning.

Anderton Machining operated as a privately-held LLC with 51-100 employees under a B2B contract manufacturing model. Pricing was not publicly disclosed. On September 15, 2025, the company was acquired by an undisclosed strategic buyer, with Angle Advisors serving as the exclusive investment banking advisor. Prior revenue, capital structure, and ownership composition were not disclosed in available sources.

Direct peers

• Regal Rexnord: Power transmission and industrial gears, bearings, and coupling manufacturer serving heavy equipment, off-highway, and industrial markets. Highly comparable to Anderton's gear, spline, and transmission component portfolio with overlapping end customers.
• NN, Inc. Precision-engineered components and subsystems manufacturer serving aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial end markets. Highly comparable business model to Anderton's precision CNC machining for defense and industrial customers.

Broad incumbents

• Eaton Corporation: Diversified industrial manufacturer of powertrain, transmission, and drivetrain components for heavy trucks and off-highway vehicles. Overlaps with Anderton's heavy truck and off-highway customer base through transmission-adjacent content, though Eaton is a much broader OEM.
• Dana Incorporated: Supplier of driveteline, sealing, and thermal management solutions for commercial vehicles and off-highway equipment. Comparable to Anderton's heavy truck and off-highway precision components, although Dana sells complete sub-systems rather than individual machined parts.
• Timken Company: Manufacturer of engineered bearings, gears, and power transmission products for industrial, automotive, and heavy equipment markets. Overlaps with Anderton's precision gear and transmission part offerings, especially in heavy truck and industrial drivetrains.
• Curtiss-Wright Corporation: Supplier of highly engineered, mission-critical components, subsystems, and services for defense, commercial, and industrial markets. Comparable to Anderton's ITAR-registered defense machining capability, although Curtiss-Wright operates across a much broader portfolio.
• Barnes Group Inc. Provider of engineered components for industrial and aerospace markets through its Aerospace and Industrial segments. Comparable to Anderton's precision machined components sold into demanding industrial and defense applications.
• Moog Inc. Designer and manufacturer of high-performance precision motion control products serving aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. Overlaps with Anderton in defense and industrial precision components, although Moog specializes in motion subsystems rather than contract machining.
• IDEX Corporation: Diversified manufacturer of precision fluidics, dispensing, and engineered industrial components. Adjacent to Anderton through precision components serving industrial and defense-adjacent markets, though IDEX's portfolio extends well beyond contract machining.
• TransDigm Group: Producer of proprietary, highly engineered aerospace and defense components with a focus on sole-source positions. Comparable to Anderton's mission-critical defense machined components given the ITAR registration, though TransDigm is materially larger and acquisition-driven.
