What Brotech Precision CNC does

Brotech Precision CNC is a privately held precision CNC machining service provider founded in 1995 and headquartered in Barrie, Ontario, with a second manufacturing facility in Owen Sound, Ontario, and more than 40 employees across both sites. The company specializes in high-precision machining for demanding end markets—nuclear power, aerospace, defense, medical, and oil & gas—and operates an installed base that includes 25 CNC machines and four coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), notably 9-axis Mazak Integrex i400slw and 5-axis Okuma/Mazak VCU500A5X centers. Its differentiators include a proprietary stage-gate job planning process and an automated machining/measurement cell that runs 24/7, measures parts in-process, and instructs machines to make closed-loop tolerance adjustments; the company reports internal scrap rates below 0.5% and has positioned itself as a global cost leader for nuclear Shield Plug Assemblies.

The company's enterprise customer base spans Bruce Power (Shield Plug Assemblies for the six-unit MCR life-extension program, 6,000+ assemblies delivered), Tesla (Model S rear name plate applique at 2,000 parts per week), Rolls-Royce Naval Marine (CSTRS Winch System for U.S. Navy MH-60 helicopters, with parts specified by the U.S. Navy after competing suppliers failed), Nordion, Héroux-Devtek, and Savage Arms. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven contracts sold via direct enterprise field sales targeting procurement and engineering teams. Its Blended Supply Chain Model is positioned as a reshoring/dual-source offering for North American manufacturers seeking to reduce overseas supply dependency.

Brotech is certified to ISO 9001 (since 2003), AS9100 Rev. D, CSA N299.3 (nuclear), the Canadian Controlled Goods Program, ITAR, and Canadian firearms production licensing. The business was founded by master machinist Brian Wetherall on the principle that "no job was too difficult," was professionalized by incoming President Jerome Horowitz in 2010 after a 2008 restructuring from jobbing shop to enterprise-partner model, and currently operates with a leadership team spanning production, quality, estimating, finance, and program management functions.
