Northfield Industries

What Northfield Industries does

Northfield Industries is a custom precision machining company headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, that has been integrated into Anchor Harvey, a precision metal manufacturing platform. Northfield was originally founded in 2002 as a machining business serving material handling, agricultural, and industrial markets, and it operated as a standalone entity until its acquisition and integration into Anchor Harvey's broader portfolio of manufacturing brands. As part of Anchor Harvey, Northfield contributes machining capability to an end-to-end manufacturing solution that combines closed-die forging (100+ years of experience), CNC machining (130+ machines across facilities), assembly, and supply chain management under one roof.

The company's technology stack centers on tight-tolerance CNC machining backed by forging expertise, with statistical quality control held to 1.67 Ppk and tolerances as tight as 15 microns for true position, cylindricity, and parallelism. Manufacturing is distributed across three Illinois facilities: a forging plant in Freeport, a CNC machining facility in Union, and a CNC machining facility in Schaumburg (housing a MAKINO A81 630MM Machining Center). Post-process capabilities including heat treatment, painting, and surface finishing are managed in-house, alongside North American and global material sourcing.

Northfield operates a quote-based, custom-manufacturing revenue model with no public pricing. Distribution is enterprise-direct via a Request-for-Quote (RFQ) channel on the Anchor Harvey website, targeting aerospace, specialty automotive, motorsports, heavy equipment/construction/agriculture, fluid power, energy, and data center customers. Customer relationships average over 10 years, indicating an account-based enterprise sales motion rather than transactional volume. The company has been progressively consolidated into Anchor Harvey alongside Precision Machining Group, D&N Machining, and New Dimensions Precision Machining.

Broad incumbents

• Bodycote: Global leader in heat treatment and metal joining services serving aerospace, automotive, and industrial markets. Complementary rather than directly competing, but operates in adjacent metal-processing services for many of the same end-customers.
• Doncasters Group: UK-based global manufacturer of precision engineered components and complex assemblies, including forging and machining, serving aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. Comparable precision metal manufacturing capabilities with broader global footprint.
• Precision Castparts Corp: Large diversified manufacturer of complex metal components and assemblies, including investment castings and forgings for aerospace, power, and industrial markets. Sets the pricing and qualification bar for premium aerospace forgings that Northfield competes against.
• Alcoa Howmet Aerospace: Major aerospace forging and casting business producing large titanium and aluminum structural components for aircraft engines and airframes. Competes with Northfield in aerospace-grade aluminum forged components but at much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Ajax Manufacturing: Erie, PA-based one-stop forging and machining company producing custom forged and CNC-machined components for aerospace, defense, power transmission, and industrial markets. Highly comparable end-to-end forging-plus-machining model serving overlapping end-markets.
• Finkl Steel: Chicago-based manufacturer of custom die forgings and forged products for aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial markets. Comparable custom forging capabilities and North American Midwest footprint to Northfield's operations.
• Ellwood Group: New Castle, PA-based specialty steelmaker and forging operator producing custom die forgings, large engineered components, and machined parts for aerospace, defense, oil & gas, and heavy industrial customers. Comparable custom-forging-plus-machining profile with similar customer mix.
• Scot Forge: Spring Grove, IL-based custom open-die and ring-rolled forging company serving aerospace, defense, power generation, and industrial markets. Closest direct peer to Northfield's custom forging capabilities and overlapping customer base in heavy industrial and aerospace.
• Anchor Harvey Components: Parent brand of Northfield Industries, offering the same end-to-end precision forging, CNC machining, and supply chain services across the same aerospace, automotive, motorsports, fluid power, and energy end-markets. Effectively operates Northfield as a sub-brand.
• MetalTek International: Waukesha, WI-based manufacturer of custom metal components via sand casting, investment casting, and centrifugal casting, serving aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. Comparable custom metal components manufacturer for high-spec end-markets.
