Custom Manufacturing

What Custom Manufacturing does

Custom Manufacturing Corp. is a privately held specialty metal forming and CNC machining service provider founded in 1957 and operating from a single 72,000 square foot facility at 2542 State Rd in Bensalem, PA. The company serves industrial customers across architectural and construction, transportation equipment (truck/trailer, rail, elevator), conveyor systems, lighting manufacturing, and outdoor/recreation end markets, offering a single-source supplier model that consolidates bending, CNC machining, welding, drilling, punching, sawing, and polishing under one roof. Named enterprise customers include Otis Elevator, U-Haul, M.H. Eby, Hydro Aluminum, Graham Architecture, Celina Tent, Pemco Lighting Products, Simplimatic Engineering, Stewart Systems Baking, Architectural Window, and A.R.E. Aluminum Line Products.

The company's core offering is built around four distinct bending processes — stretch forming, draw bending, compression bending, and roll bending — applied to ferrous and non-ferrous extrusions and profiles in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, bronze, and brass. Stretch forming uses specialized Hufford Stretch Benders to produce parts with intricate and complex cross-sections while minimizing distortions; roll bending serves small-quantity and prototype needs with low setup times; CNC machining is supported by 9 CNC centers (6 Fadal and 3 Haas) with bed sizes ranging from 80"x30" to 30"x16". The business holds the Lockheed Martin Star Supplier Award (2008) and reports expedited delivery windows of 24 to 72 hours in some cases. The company has 11–50 employees and operates at a single Bensalem, PA site with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding history.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based custom work priced via per-project Request a Quote intake, ranging from single-piece prototypes to production quantities across both one-time project fees and professional services engagements. Go-to-market is direct: customers reach the company primarily through its website (custommfgcorp.com) and ThomasNET industrial catalog, funneling into phone, email, and online RFQ channels. There is no disclosed pricing tier, no distribution or reseller channel, and the company markets only within the United States (Pennsylvania and adjacent markets).

Core offering

Custom Manufacturing Corp. is a single-source metal fabrication provider operating from a 72,000 square foot facility in Bensalem, PA. The company delivers custom metal forming and CNC machining services — including stretch forming, draw bending, compression bending, roll bending, and CNC milling/drilling/grinding — on ferrous and non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, steel, bronze, and brass. Value-added finishing capabilities (welding, sawing, punching, drilling, and some polishing) are performed in-house to consolidate work for customers across construction, transportation, architectural, conveyor, and lighting applications.

Product overview

Custom Manufacturing Corp. is a metal fabrication service provider offering five core bending and machining services under one roof: Stretch Forming, Draw Bending, Compression Bending, Roll Bending, and CNC Machining. Established in 1957 and operating from a 72,000 square foot facility in Bensalem, PA, the company positions itself as a single-source supplier combining multiple manufacturing processes. The bending services (stretch, draw, compression, and roll bending) enable the company to match parts to the most cost-effective forming method, while CNC machining provides precision metalworking capabilities. Secondary services including welding, drilling, punching, sawing, and polishing complement the core offerings, allowing customers to consolidate work with one supplier rather than coordinating across multiple vendors.

Direct peers

• Waukesha Metal Products: Mid-size US contract metal fabricator offering fabrication, machining, welding, and assembly for industrial OEM customers. Comparable on size, capability scope (metal forming + machining), and end-market exposure to construction, transportation, and industrial equipment OEMs.
• Mayville Engineering Company (MEC): Public contract metal manufacturer operating multiple fabrication facilities across the US. Directly comparable as a multi-capability job shop serving transportation, construction, and industrial OEM customers with forming, machining, and assembly—essentially a larger, multi-site version of Custom Mfg Corp.'s operating model.
• Manitowoc Tool & Die: Wisconsin-based contract metal stamping and machining shop serving industrial, agricultural, and automotive customers. Comparable for in-house metal forming and CNC machining capabilities, project-based revenue, and a similar mid-market, privately held profile.
• Service Steel Aerospace: Specialty carbon, alloy, and stainless steel fabricator serving aerospace, defense, and heavy industrial markets. Comparable because it combines metal cutting, forming, and machining under one roof for tier-1 customers with tight quality demands, mirroring Custom Mfg Corp.'s single-source supplier positioning.
• Fisher-Barton Industries: US manufacturer of metal formed and cut components serving agriculture, energy, transportation, and defense end markets. Comparable as a metal forming/blanking specialist with in-house tooling and machining that competes for similar OEM extrusion and sheet forming work.

Broad incumbents

• MetalTek International: Larger US metal castings and fabricated components supplier with multiple facilities and broader capability (sand, investment, centrifugal casting plus fabrication). Comparable because it competes for OEM metal component work and offers single-source metal part production, though at a meaningfully larger scale and broader scope.
• Mueller Industries: Public US manufacturer of copper, brass, aluminum, and steel products including fabricated components. Overlaps with Custom Mfg Corp. on aluminum extrusion forming and fabricated metal components for construction, plumbing, and industrial markets, but operates at substantially greater scale and across many more product lines.
• Precision Castparts Corp. Berkshire Hathaway-owned global manufacturer of complex metal components and assemblies for aerospace, power, and industrial markets. Comparable only at the broadest level as a single-source metal component supplier to tier-1 aerospace/industrial OEMs, but vastly larger and serving as a benchmark for the scale ceiling of integrated metal parts suppliers.
