Midwest Precision Machining

What Midwest Precision Machining does

Midwest Precision Machining (MPM) is a privately held precision contract manufacturer founded in 1977 and operating from a 10,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility plus 3,000 sq. ft. of office space at 108 Chelsea Road, Monticello, Minnesota, since 1991. The company produces close-tolerance CNC turned, CNC milled, and Swiss-machined components for the aerospace, defense, medical, semiconductor, and general OEM markets, with historical program credentials including Space Shuttle and Hubble Space Telescope components. Its equipment fleet spans CNC turning (Haas, Nakamura, Okuma, Hardinge), Swiss turning (Citizen L32, Miyano BNA-42GTY), CNC milling (Haas VF-series, Makino a51), and traditional inspection systems (microscopes, optical comparators, video measurement), with a secondary finishing network covering NADCAP, AS9100, ISO, and Mil-spec compliant processes including anodizing, plating, heat treating, passivation, and specialty coatings. The company holds AS9100 aerospace quality certification.

MPM operates a multi-channel go-to-market: direct enterprise sales for custom OEM contract work, a self-serve e-commerce storefront offering nine standardized CNC-machined parts priced between $75 and $250, and an online booking system for machining services at fixed hourly rates ($150-$180 per session). Revenue is generated through one-time sales of machined parts and billable machining services. The company maintains a single domestic facility, serves only North American customers per disclosed operating geographies, and has no disclosed venture or private equity backing. Founder Richard Harris remains identified as founder and owner. No headcount, revenue figures, M&A activity, or leadership transitions are publicly disclosed.
