What Bechler Cams does

Bechler Cams Inc. is a privately held precision machining job shop founded in 1957 and headquartered in a 11,500 sq. ft. air-conditioned facility at 1313 S. State College Parkway, Anaheim, California. The company operates as a diversified job shop producing small and medium-sized complex high-precision parts for medical, dental, aerospace, missile and defense, DOE, optical, and general commercial customers, with particular reputation for close-tolerance medical and dental components. Its core technology stack spans two- through five-axis CNC machining, seven-axis CNC Swiss turning (Citizen K16, Star SB-20E), and a full range of conventional tool-room equipment, supported by Master Cam Version 8 programming and Vista 4.3 job costing. Quality is anchored by an ISO 9001:2008 certified climate-controlled QA lab with measurement devices traceable to NIST and compliant with Mil-Std-45662, enabling inspection precision down to .00005 inches.

The firm generates revenue on a per-job custom-quote basis through a direct sales-led GTM motion. Customers submit RFQs via the website, phone (+1 714-774-5150), fax, or email ([email protected]), with no public pricing and no disclosed contract structures. Sales efforts are regionally concentrated in Orange County and Los Angeles in Southern California, with quote-taking capability for national and international customers. The company qualifies as a female-owned small business concern, providing eligibility for set-aside procurement, and serves a mix of short-run and long-run production orders across its targeted verticals.
