What MW Industries does

MW Industries is a privately held custom metal fabrication job shop founded in 1976 in Houston, Texas, operating from an 8-acre manufacturing facility. The company produces custom fasteners, custom brackets, custom metal stampings, and custom washers, and provides supporting services across CNC fabrication, manufacturing, punch press, and tool and die work. Equipment is anchored by 12 punch presses ranging from 80 to 500 tons, 3 Hurco CNC machining centers, wire EDM, and CAD/CAM tooling built on Pro/ENGINEER and AutoCAD. The company states that approximately 98% of jobs are completed in-house, reflecting vertically integrated tooling and production capacity rather than reliance on outsourced processing.

The company serves a diversified customer base spanning industrial manufacturing, automotive, commercial/consumer markets (telecom, electronics, HVAC, recreational), and military/government applications. Pricing is quote-based on each custom job rather than catalog or subscription, and go-to-market relies on direct and field sales targeting enterprise buyers. The company is privately held with a stated headcount in the 11-50 range, and its own materials cite over 400 years of combined manufacturing experience across its workforce.

No funding rounds, acquisitions, divestitures, leadership transitions, new product or platform launches, regulatory actions, or other strategic events beyond the company's founding, its 2016 40-year milestone, and a stated worldwide shipping capability for custom fasteners are disclosed in the available data. Revenue, growth rate, customer logos, and contract structure are not disclosed.

Core offering

MW Industries is a custom manufacturer and fabricator of non-standard metal components, producing fasteners, brackets, metal stampings, and washers made to customer specifications. The Houston-based job shop operates in-house punch presses (80 to 500 tons), CNC machining centers, wire EDM, and full tool and die services, accepting orders from single-piece prototypes to production runs of more than one million parts across a wide range of metals and specialty alloys.

Product overview

MW Industries is a custom manufacturer and fabricator operating as a single-site job shop (since 1976) producing four primary product categories — Custom Fasteners, Custom Brackets, Custom Metal Stampings, and Custom Washers — supported by a complementary set of in-house manufacturing services. The core products are custom, non-standard parts made to customer specifications; they are not modular software offerings but rather distinct manufacturing capabilities that share tooling, design, and quality processes. The supporting service layer includes CNC Fabrication, Manufacturing Services (secondary operations), Punch Press Services, and Tool and Die Services, all performed at the eight-acre Houston, Texas facility. Production volumes range from one-off prototypes to million-part runs, with a 24-hour availability for emergency requirements.
