Heartland Fabrication & Machine

What Heartland Fabrication & Machine does

Heartland Fabrication & Machine Inc. is a privately held CNC machining and fabrication shop founded in 1996 and headquartered at 10220 E. 65th Street, Raytown, Missouri. The company operates a single integrated manufacturing facility of more than 20,000 square feet, offering two core service lines: precision CNC machining (CNC Lathe, CNC Milling, Swiss Turning, CNC Saw Cutting, and 5-Axis Milling/Turning) and metal fabrication (CNC Hi Def Plasma Cutting, D1.1 certified MIG welding, and D1.1 certified TIG welding of stainless steel, steel, and aluminum). Service volumes range from one-off prototype work to large-quantity production runs.

The company's revenue model is project-based and quote-driven, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customers engage the company directly through phone, email, or an online Wufoo contact form to request quotes, indicating a sales-led go-to-market motion with no intermediary channels. The business serves three primary customer segments: the U.S. Department of Defense (precision-machined components for government contracts), construction and commercial markets (fabricated and galvanized products, including large structural steel jobs), and broader manufacturing customers needing small-to-medium component parts. The company emphasizes ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management and on-time delivery as core value drivers.

Heartland came under new ownership in 2023 and is led by Jessica Thomas (President) and Jared Thomas (Vice President), with Dan Torsch as Quality Manager and Karri Mitchell as Operations Assistant. The company holds a portfolio of certifications that materially shape its addressable market: ISO 9001:2015 (valid through April 15, 2027), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) with MoDOT, Women Business Enterprise (WBE) with the City of Kansas City, MO, and WBENC and WOSB certifications through the Women's Business Enterprise National Council. The firm has no disclosed funding history, no subsidiaries, and no public-facing digital marketing beyond a basic website.
