What Exact Machine. does

Exact Machine Corporation is a privately held, family-owned precision machining company founded in 1975 by Richard G. Arthur and headquartered in Sunbury, Ohio. The company operates a single manufacturing facility with 11-50 employees and provides CNC turning (1/4 inch to 24 inch diameter capacity), CNC milling (seven mills with up to 35 x 65 inch tables and 4th axis capability), and general machine work including hydraulic presses, manual mills, lathes, and pneumatic engravers. Its climate-controlled inspection room with coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and optical comparator supports tight-tolerance quality control.

The company's most differentiated product line is a series of NHTSA-compliant titanium outrigger assemblies (NHTSA-3500-A, NHTSA-6000-A, and NHTSA-10000-A) manufactured to exact federal drawing specifications for vehicle rollover testing, serving the world's largest automotive manufacturers. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 (since May 2019), AS9100 aerospace certification, MIL-I-45208 inspection standard compliance, and PPAP documentation capabilities, positioning it for both automotive regulatory testing and aerospace/defense contract work. It also produces the LifePump water-pump under a partnership with Design Outreach, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Exact Machine generates revenue through quote-based, project-priced contracts for custom CNC machining services and titanium outrigger sales, with no public pricing, no e-commerce channel, and no disclosed revenue figures. Sales are conducted via direct customer engagement at the Sunbury facility, phone, and website contact forms, targeting enterprise automotive OEMs, aerospace and defense customers, and industrial buyers requiring tight-tolerance metal and engineered plastic components. The company has operated continuously for 50 years without institutional funding or ownership changes.
