Rochester Precision Machine

What Rochester Precision Machine does

Rochester Precision Machine is a privately-held, veteran- and family-owned CNC machining services company founded in 1998 and headquartered in a single facility at 1016 Chester Ave SE, Rochester, MN. The company operates as a contract machine shop, providing precision-manufactured components on a quote-based B2B model with a stated 72-hour quote turnaround. Its service portfolio centers on CNC turning (including bar feed turning with sub-spindle capabilities), Swiss machining (multi-axis, micro-machining, polygon turning, thread whirling), horizontal and vertical CNC milling, and large-part CNC machining. Material capabilities span aluminum, stainless steel, brass, copper, and specialty alloys, with secondary services including honing, welding, heat treating, grinding, polishing, plating, powder coating, and sub-assembly to support complete part delivery.

The customer base is concentrated in heavy equipment and general industrial manufacturing, with additional exposure to aerospace, automotive, and medical device end markets. RPM holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and markets itself on precision tolerances, on-time delivery, and a "people-first" service model. Go-to-market is sales-led: customers engage through website quote requests, phone, and SMS, supported by an extensive local-SEO footprint of 90+ geo-targeted service-area pages and ongoing blog content. The company has no disclosed institutional capital, no subsidiaries, no acquisitions, and no public pricing — characteristics consistent with a small, independently operated regional job shop.

Direct peers

• Protolabs: Digital manufacturing platform offering on-demand CNC machining, injection molding, and 3D printing with rapid quoting. Directly comparable as both deliver custom precision CNC machined parts to B2B customers on a quote-to-production basis, though Protolabs operates at much greater scale and on a national/international footprint.
• Xometry: AI-driven on-demand manufacturing marketplace aggregating CNC machining, sheet metal, and other services. Directly comparable as both provide custom precision machined components via quote-based B2B engagement, with Xometry operating a digital platform versus RPM's traditional sales-led model.
• Fictiv: Digital manufacturing platform connecting customers with vetted CNC machining and fabrication suppliers. Comparable as both ultimately serve B2B buyers needing custom precision parts, though Fictiv operates as a software-enabled network rather than an in-house job shop.
• Hubs (Protolabs Network): Online CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding service (now part of Protolabs Network). Comparable as both offer custom CNC machined parts through an online quote and order workflow targeting manufacturers and product developers.
• Plethora: Precision CNC machining and metal fabrication services provider based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Comparable as both offer multi-axis CNC turning, milling, and tight-tolerance precision parts to industrial customers, with overlapping service portfolios and quote-based pricing.
• Owens Industries: Precision machining company specializing in Swiss screw machining and CNC turning for aerospace, medical, and defense customers. Comparable as both are precision CNC job shops emphasizing tight tolerances, regulated-industry certifications, and complex small-diameter component work.
• Anderson Dahlen: Minnesota-based custom metal fabrication, machining, and assembly provider serving industrial and process markets. Comparable as a Midwest-headquartered precision machining peer serving similar industrial OEMs in the same regional customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Makino: Global manufacturer of CNC machining centers and turnkey production systems, with strong presence in aerospace and automotive. Comparable as a broader incumbent in the metalworking machinery industry that defines the equipment ecosystem in which RPM operates, though Makino sells machines rather than machining services.
• DMG Mori: Global manufacturer of CNC machine tools including turning, milling, and additive manufacturing systems. Comparable as a broader incumbent shaping the CNC machining industry; relevant as a supplier of the type of equipment RPM operates, though not a direct service competitor.

Others

• Haas Automation: Largest US-based manufacturer of CNC machine tools including vertical machining centers, lathes, and rotary products. Comparable as the equipment supplier ecosystem for RPM's production floor, rather than a service competitor; relevant to understanding the CNC technology stack the company utilizes.
