What Haake Maunufacturing does

Haake Manufacturing is a fourth-generation, family-owned precision sheet metal fabricator founded in 1948 by Fred C. Haake Sr. and Elfriede Haake, currently led by fourth-generation family member Jay Rieker. Headquartered in a single facility in DeSoto, Missouri, the company operates an integrated manufacturing footprint that performs CNC laser cutting (up to 10,000W fiber), CNC turret punching, TruMatic 7000 punch/laser combination machining, CNC press brake forming (Trumpf TruBend 5230/5170 with ToolMaster), metal stamping via AIDA punching cells up to 160 tons, robotic MIG/MAG welding (Trumpf TruArc Weld 1000), and automated powder coating (Gema system with six-stage GAT wash, zirconium pretreatment, and infrared pre-process). Secondary services — CNC machining, hardware insertion, PEMing, and mechanical assembly — deliver production-ready finished parts.

The company serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in three primary verticals: industrial equipment and data center infrastructure (enclosures, brackets, structural frames), automotive and transportation (including EV battery enclosures, heat shields, and chassis reinforcement), and electrical and electronics (control panels, switchgear, junction boxes). Its core commercial proposition is supplier consolidation: OEMs engage Haake as a single fabrication partner in lieu of coordinating multiple vendors for cutting, forming, welding, and finishing. Central U.S. positioning enables two-day shipping to either coast via in-house freight, and the company supports just-in-time delivery, blanket orders, and managed inventory programs tied to multi-year OEM program cycles. Quality management is anchored by ISO 9001:2015 certification, with reported 2025 performance metrics of 99% on-time delivery, 292 PPM defect rate for parts fabrication, and 0 PPM for powder coating.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven pricing on a per-part or per-job basis, with rates varying by material, thickness, geometry, tolerances, run volume, and downstream process requirements. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales: direct engagement with OEM engineering and procurement teams, supported by an online quote request, dedicated sales email and phone line, and in-person facility tours at the DeSoto headquarters. Distribution is direct-to-OEM with no channel partners or resellers; finished components ship from the single Missouri facility nationwide. Marketing is primarily content-driven, centered on a company blog that publishes educational articles on fabrication processes and design-for-manufacturability for engineering and procurement audiences.

Core offering

Haake Manufacturing provides precision custom sheet metal fabrication services for OEM manufacturers, performing CNC laser cutting, CNC punching, CNC punch/laser combination, CNC press brake forming, metal stamping, robotic welding, and automated powder coating — all in-house at a single DeSoto, Missouri facility. The company delivers finished components, assemblies, and powder-coated parts on a quote-based, per-part basis with just-in-time delivery, blanket orders, and managed inventory programs for ongoing OEM programs. Secondary services such as CNC machining, hardware insertion, PEMing, and mechanical assembly complete production-ready parts.

Product overview

Haake Manufacturing is a precision custom sheet metal fabrication company offering a unified suite of integrated manufacturing services under one roof. The core portfolio centers on seven primary fabrication processes: CNC Laser Cutting, CNC Punching, CNC Punch/Laser Combination, Powder Coating, CNC Press Brake Forming, Metal Stamping, and Robotic Welding. Secondary Services (CNC Machining, Hardware Insertion, PEMing, Assembly) complement these by delivering production-ready parts. All capabilities are vertically integrated at their DeSoto, Missouri facility, enabling streamlined workflows from raw material to finished component without supplier handoffs.

Products and services

• CNC Laser Cutting Services Precision metal laser cutting using advanced fiber laser technology with up to 10,000 watts of processing power, supporting both oxygen and nitrogen cutting methods for various materials and thicknesses.
• CNC Punching Services High-speed CNC turret punching for thin to medium gauge sheet metal with full 360-degree head rotation, producing holes, cutouts, slots, and formed features in a single operation.
• CNC Punch/Laser Combination Services Combined punching and laser cutting on a single TruMatic 7000 machine, integrating forming and contouring in one workflow to reduce handling, shorten cycle times, and lower production costs.
• Powder Coating Services Fully automated powder coating with a six-stage wash system, infrared pre-processing, and zirconium pretreatment using GEMA application technology for durable, consistent finishes.
• CNC Press Brake Forming Services Precision sheet metal bending using Trumpf TruBend press brakes with ToolMaster automation and multi-axis backgauges for consistent, repeatable accuracy across complex part geometries.
• Metal Stamping Services Custom metal stamping using AIDA punching cells up to 160 tons supporting progressive and single-station tooling, plus additional presses from 5 to 150 tons for various stamping requirements.
• Robotic Welding Services Automated arc welding (MIG/MAG) using Trumpf TruArc Weld 1000 for steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, plus MIG, TIG, resistance, and spot welding capabilities for medium to high volume production.
• Secondary Services (CNC Machining, Hardware Insertion, PEMing, Assembly) Value-added manufacturing services including CNC machining, hardware insertion, PEMing (self-clinching fasteners), and mechanical assembly for production-ready parts.
