Hudson Precision Products

What Hudson Precision Products does

Hudson Precision Products is a 4th-generation, family-owned contract manufacturer of precision-machined components, headquartered in Broadview, Illinois, with operating roots tracing to 1906 (originally Casey-Hudson Co.). The firm produces screw-machined and CNC components on a build-to-print basis for OEM customers across electronics, medical, aerospace, automotive, appliances, military, and environmental markets. It is woman-owned under CEO Joan Wrenn, supported by a workforce of 11-50 employees averaging 20+ years of experience in the trade.

The company's core technology is a diversified metal-cutting equipment fleet: single- and multi-spindle automatic screw machines (Brown & Sharpe, Conomatic 6-Spindle, Wickman 6-Spindle, Euroturn 6/8-Spindle) for high-volume turned parts, plus CNC turning and milling centers (Mori Seiki, Miyano, OKK, Hardinge VMC, Star Swiss Type, DMG Mori Seiki, Matsura) for complex small-lot work. In-house robotic and palletized automatic part changers enable lights-out production on longer runs, and shop operations are managed under the GLOBAL SHOP ERP platform. The business holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (valid through 2026), ITAR registration, and CAGE Code 3SQT3, qualifying it for defense and regulated-industry supply chains.

Commercially, Hudson operates as a classic precision contract shop: customers supply drawings and specifications, and the firm machines and delivers finished components, generating revenue per piece or per batch across multi-industry OEM accounts. No pricing model, go-to-market specifics, customer logos, or revenue figures are disclosed; the company also maintains a vendor partnership with Corey Steel Company for raw material supply and a workforce-development partnership with the Austin Polytechnical Academy founded by CEO Joan Wrenn.
