What Production Machine & Tool does

Production Machine & Tool Co. (PMT) is a Veteran-Owned precision machining and manufacturing job shop founded in 1973 in Wichita Falls, Texas. From a single 60,000 sq ft air-conditioned facility at 2450 Burkburnett Road, PMT delivers custom CNC machining, autofrettage, welding, assembly, broaching, and high-pressure testing services to enterprise customers in aerospace & defense, oil & gas, mining, and naval & maritime industries. Named customers include Bell Helicopters, Halliburton, NOV (National Oilwell Varco), Safran, and the U.S. Department of Defense, with quality performance reported at a 99% customer acceptance rate and greater than 97% on-time delivery.

PMT's technical offering centers on a broad, vertically integrated capability stack. Core machining includes six Horizontal Boring Mills handling parts up to 12 cu ft / 60,000 lbs (three with U-axis for conical bores), 13 CNC machining centers with 4th-axis milling across a 52" cubic envelope, CNC turning up to 39" diameter and 130" long, and a Mazak Integrex 4004 for true one-and-done 5th-axis work. Differentiated specialty services include an in-house autofrettage process that creates residual compressive hoop stresses in thick-walled cylinders to improve fatigue and load capacity, a Horizontal Red Ring broaching machine with 90" stroke powered by a 30-ton hydraulic ram, and a high-pressure test chamber rated 50,000-75,000 psi accepting parts up to 84" x 53" x 83". Quality is supported by a Zeiss CNC CMM (60" x 35" x 27"), three Faro Plus Gages, and AS9100D, ISO 9001, and ITAR certifications.

The business operates on a quote-based, project-by-project sales model with each job assigned a dedicated production manager and a full-time customer relations manager, supported by an internal project management and shop floor control system. Pricing is not publicly disclosed as each engagement is custom-engineered to specification. The company is privately held by the McMullen family, with founder Neil McMullen having transitioned leadership to his son Mark McMullen. PMT sells exclusively through direct enterprise engagement, with no distributors or e-commerce channels, and currently operates only within North America.
