Jerpbak-Bayless Company

What Jerpbak-Bayless Company does

Jerpbak-Bayless Company is a precision metal machining services provider headquartered in Solon, Ohio, founded in 1945 in the post-World War II industrial boom and currently operated under third-generation family leadership. The company operates a 42,000 square foot manufacturing facility with 5-ton crane capacity and five segregated manufacturing bays, producing custom OEM components for heavy industry customers in aerospace, oil and gas, mining, steel, construction, defense, energy, and automotive. The company is family-owned and over 60% women-owned, with no external equity ownership, parent entity, or subsidiaries disclosed. Historical credentials include supplier status to the U.S. Navy Nuclear program since the 1950s, with parts featured on the Nautilus submarine, and ISO-9002 plus MIL-I-45208 certifications.

The technology stack is centered on CNC metal machining across five interrelated disciplines: CNC turning (2- to 5-axis, up to 200-inch center distance), CNC milling (vertical and horizontal machining centers with 4- and 5-axis capability and travel up to 200 inches), custom threading (thread grinding, milling, and cutting for ACME, buttress, API, square, trapezoidal, and V-threads), specialty machining (involute and straight-sided spline cutting, deep-hole gun drilling, OD grinding up to 233-inch center distance, hard-face PTA/TIG/MIG welding), and long shaft machining with unlimited length capacity and diameters from 1.5 to 34 inches. Tolerances reach +/-.0005 inches with roundness and concentricity of .0002 and .0003 inches respectively. 5-axis mill/turn capability is positioned to consolidate up to six machining setups into one, while helical milling supports aerospace fluid-dynamics features.

The business model is build-to-order contract manufacturing: the company does not stock inventory and does not produce under master supply agreements with disclosed recurring revenue; revenue is generated through project-based, one-time payments priced by materials, complexity, tolerances, and production volume. Non-recurring engineering charges (fixturing, engineering, programming, tooling, setups) are quoted separately or amortized into unit pricing, quotations are valid for 30 days, and standard payment terms are Net 15 days with 1.5% monthly interest on overdue balances. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales through an online Request-for-Quote system on the company website, supported by content marketing via an educational threading blog, Thomasnet marketplace presence, and SEO-optimized capability pages targeting engineering and procurement buyers at OEM customers across multiple heavy-industry verticals.

Core offering

Jerpbak-Bayless Company provides custom precision machining services for OEM components in heavy industry. The company operates five integrated manufacturing disciplines — CNC turning (2- to 5-axis, up to 200-inch center distances), CNC milling (vertical/horizontal, 4- and 5-axis), custom threading (ACME, buttress, API, square, trapezoidal, V-threads), specialty machining (splining, gun drilling, OD grinding up to 233 inches, welding), and long shaft machining — producing build-to-order parts for aerospace, oil & gas, mining, construction, defense, energy, automotive, and heavy equipment customers.

Product overview

Jerpbak-Bayless Company is a precision metal machining services provider offering a unified manufacturing capability rather than discrete software products. The core service integrates five interrelated machining disciplines: CNC Turning (handling 2- to 5-axis work up to 200-inch center distances), CNC Milling (vertical/horizontal machining with multi-axis capability), Custom Threading (thread grinding, milling, and cutting for ACME, buttress, API, square, and trapezoidal threads), Specialty Machining (splining, gun drilling, OD grinding up to 233 inches, welding, and straightening), and Long Shaft Machining (unlimited length capabilities with tight tolerances). These capabilities are applied to produce industrial components including spline shafts, ACME lead screws, bridge link plates, and threaded lifting connectors, all manufactured to OEM specifications for heavy industry sectors.

Broad incumbents

• Xometry: Digital marketplace aggregating CNC machining, sheet metal, and injection molding capacity from a global supplier network. Comparable in serving OEM buyers of custom machined parts, though Xometry operates as a marketplace/aggregator rather than running its own facility, which is the core of Jerpbak-Bayless's model.
• Protolabs: On-demand digital manufacturer providing CNC machining, injection molding, and additive manufacturing services to OEM customers. Comparable due to custom precision CNC machined components for OEMs, though Protolabs is materially larger, faster, more digitally scaled, and broader in scope than Jerpbak-Bayless's traditional job-shop model.
• Howmet Aerospace: Aerospace components manufacturer (NYSE: HWM) producing precision machined and engineered parts for aerospace and industrial markets. Comparable due to serving aerospace and industrial OEMs with precision machined components, though Howmet is materially larger, publicly listed, and broader in product scope than Jerpbak-Bayless.
• Precision Castparts Corp. Large aerospace manufacturer (Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary) producing precision-engineered metal components for aerospace, power, and industrial customers. Comparable due to producing similar precision-machined components for aerospace and heavy industrial customers, though Precision Castparts operates at much larger scale with focused aerospace specialization.
• Ducommun: Aerospace and defense precision components manufacturer (NYSE: DCO) producing custom machined parts and assemblies for OEM and defense customers. Comparable due to producing custom precision machined components for aerospace and defense applications, though Ducommun is publicly listed and operates multiple facilities with broader platform scope.

Emerging players

• Fictiv: On-demand manufacturing platform connecting OEM customers with vetted precision machining and fabrication suppliers in the US and Asia. Comparable due to facilitating custom precision machined parts for similar OEM customer segments, though Fictiv is purely a digital marketplace without proprietary production capacity.

Regional players

• Star Rapid: China-based precision machining services company serving global OEM customers across aerospace, automotive, industrial, and consumer markets. Comparable due to providing custom CNC machined parts for similar industrial applications, though Star Rapid is primarily Asia-based with a different cost structure and broader low-cost geographic reach.
