K&M Engineering

What K&M Engineering does

K&M Engineering, Inc. is a privately held contract manufacturer founded in 2013 and headquartered at 583 Berlin Rd., Marlborough, Massachusetts. The company provides precision CNC machining, full product assembly, and engineering support services to customers in medical device, defense, automation, and communications. Its co-founders, Jason Kittredge (M.S. mechanical engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute; formerly Raytheon IADC) and Michael Marrazzo (M.S. mechanical engineering, Boston University; formerly NxStage Medical and Mobius Imaging), lead the business and serve as the primary commercial contacts.

The company's core technology stack is built around a MasterCAM-integrated CAD/CAM platform driving a fleet of CNC mills that includes a Methods MB650 5-axis machining center, a Haas EC-400 horizontal CNC with a dual-pallet system, multiple Haas VF-4SS mills, a Mazak VC-500C, a Haas VF-2, a Haas Mini-Mill, and a Bridgeport Series I, complemented by a HAAS ST-20 turning center. Quality assurance is supported by a Hexagon Global 7.10.7 CMM, Mitutoyo and Tesa height gauges, a Mitutoyo optical comparator, and a Starrett surface plate, all calibrated to NIST standards. Finishing operations (bead blasting, vibratory tumbling, ultrasonic cleaning, solvent washing, and buffing/polishing) are performed in-house, enabling turn-key delivery from conceptual design through finished assembly.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis through custom quoting against specifications, tolerances, materials, and volumes; the company publishes no pricing. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales led by the founders, supported by ISO9001:2015 certification and ITAR registration, with no external distribution, resellers, or marketing channels. The firm is privately held by its founders with no disclosed outside investment, acquisitions, or geographic expansion beyond a Massachusetts/USA operating footprint.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• CNC Milling Services High-precision CNC milling services for customers in regulated industries, performed on MasterCAM-integrated CAD/CAM platform with Haas, Mazak, Bridgeport, and Methods 5-axis equipment. Supports complex and difficult-to-machine components with tight tolerances for medical device, defense, automation, and communications customers.
• CNC Turning Services CNC turning services using a HAAS ST-20 machine (15" x 21" capacity) for precision cylindrical component manufacturing, serving the same regulated-industry customer base as the milling services.
• Product Assembly Full product assembly services provided as part of turn-key manufacturing solutions, taking customer products from component fabrication through to completed assembly under one roof.
• Inspection and Quality Assurance Comprehensive inspection services performed in a controlled environment with equipment calibrated to NIST standards, including Hexagon Global 7.10.7 CMM, Mitutoyo digital height gage, Tesa Hite 700 height gage, Mitutoyo PJ300 optical comparator, Starrett Grade A surface plate, and standard pin/thread/vernier/micrometer gages.
• Engineering Support Services Engineering support for customer projects including process development, fixture design, automated machining, and 3-5 axis CNC programming, enabling design-for-manufacturability collaboration from concept through production.
• Finishing and Surface Treatment Secondary finishing operations for machined components including bead blasting (Econoline 36-1 cabinet), vibratory tumbling (BurrKing M15), ultrasonic cleaning (Sonicor S-Series), solvent parts washing (Safe-Kleen), and mechanical buffing and polishing.

Broad incumbents

• Viant Medical: Viant (formerly The MedTech Group) is an end-to-end medical device contract manufacturer offering design, machining, assembly, and packaging. It is comparable as a broader incumbent in the medical contract-manufacturing space that competes for the same outsourced manufacturing programs K&M targets.
• Protolabs: Protolabs (Protolabs Network / 3D Hubs) is an on-demand digital manufacturing platform offering CNC machining, injection molding, and 3D printing with automated quoting. It is a comparable broader incumbent because it competes for prototyping and low-volume production orders across many of the same customer segments, including medical device.
• Orchid Orthopedic Solutions: Orchid is a larger, established contract manufacturer specializing in orthopedic implants and instruments. It is a comparable broad incumbent because it serves the same medical-device OEMs with a wider portfolio (forging, machining, finishing, coatings) that overlaps K&M's medical-device machining and assembly offering.
• Hubs (by Protolabs): Hubs is a global online CNC machining and manufacturing marketplace that competes for on-demand machined parts. It is a broader incumbent peer because it competes for the same prototype and short-run production business that K&M's CNC milling and turning services target.
• Paragon Medical: Paragon Medical is a medical-device contract manufacturer offering precision machined components, implants, and instruments. It is a broader incumbent peer because it operates in the same medical contract-manufacturing category with a wider capability footprint than K&M.
• Integer Holdings: Integer Holdings is a large medical-device outsource manufacturer with capabilities in precision components, leads, and finished devices. It is a broader incumbent comparable because it serves the same medical-device OEMs on outsourced precision manufacturing programs that include machining and assembly.

Direct peers

• Norman Noble: Norman Noble is a U.S.-based precision CNC machining and micro-machining shop focused on medical implants, devices, and aerospace components. It is a direct peer because it competes for the same high-precision, regulated medical-device and defense work with comparable multi-axis CNC equipment and tight-tolerance capabilities.
• Tegra Medical: Tegra Medical is a precision contract manufacturer serving the medical-device industry with machining, assembly, and finishing services. It is a direct peer because it offers an analogous full-service, regulated-industry manufacturing model and targets similar medical-device OEM customers.
• Precision Machined Products: Precision Machined Products (PMP) is a New England-based precision CNC machining shop serving aerospace, medical, and industrial customers. It is a direct peer because it competes in the same geography for the same precision, regulated-industry work with overlapping equipment and capability profile.
• Avalign Technologies: Avalign is a medical-device and aerospace contract manufacturer focused on precision machining, assembly, and instrument finishing. It is a direct peer because it serves overlapping medical and aerospace/defense customers with similar tight-tolerance machined components and full assembly.
