Descriptiontext

Kurek Tool Inc. is a woman-owned precision manufacturing company founded in 1965 by John Kurek Sr. and his sons John Jr. and Jerry, operating from a single headquarters in Saginaw, Michigan. The company specializes in manufacturing tools, fixtures, prototypes, and similar engineered products for industrial customers, with a 60-year operating track record (celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2025) and a current headcount of 11-50 employees. It is currently led by President JoAnn Kurek, with Jerry Baase serving as Director of Manufacturing.

The company's core capabilities center on CNC and precision machining using a fleet of equipment that includes a Haas VF2 with 5th-axis Trunnion table, an Okuma Vertical Machining Center, HAAS ST-30 and SL-30 CNC lathes, EDM wire cutting, and precision grinding equipment from Jones & Shipman, Brown & Sharpe, Heald, and Moore jig grinders. Kurek Tool offers four service lines that share the same underlying manufacturing infrastructure: Precision Machining, CNC Machining, Prototype Machining, and Production Precision Machining. Quality and operational performance are managed through a Weekly Performance Report (WPR) system, developed by Vince Bozzone of Delta Dynamics, which tracks over 40 KPIs weekly across marketing, competitive performance, production/productivity/quality, and shipping.

Kurek Tool operates a sales-led, project-based business model, generating revenue from custom manufacturing jobs with quote-based pricing and a 24-hour quote turnaround policy. The company sells directly to enterprise industrial customers including ZF (13+ year relationship), GM, Nexteer, St. Gobain, Means Industries, Danaher Motion, and Ortho Design, alongside mid-market customers in process equipment, industrial coating, and engineering. Its value proposition centers on emergency rapid response (sometimes delivering within hours), 97% on-time delivery, absorption of rework costs rather than passing them to customers, and direct process consulting from Director of Manufacturing Jerry Baase.

Product overview1 text field

Kurek Tool is a precision manufacturing company offering a unified set of machining services rather than a software product. Its core offerings are four service/product lines: Precision Machining (general high-precision machining), CNC Machining (automated CNC-based cutting and milling), Prototype Machining (low-volume prototype development), and Production Precision Machining (high-volume repeat manufacturing). All four share the same precision manufacturing infrastructure, equipment (lathes, mills, grinders, EDM, welding), and quality processes. The company also provides manufacturing process consulting as an ancillary service tied to its machining capabilities.
