FIMS Manufacturing

What FIMS Manufacturing does

FIMS Manufacturing is a third-generation, family-owned precision machining and metal fabrication company headquartered in Oakland, New Jersey. The firm operates as a single-site job shop delivering tight-tolerance CNC turning, 3- and 4-axis milling, waterjet cutting, electrical discharge machining (EDM), precision welding (advertised at .0002 mil tolerances), splining and shaping, automated polishing and deburring, precision assembly, CAD design, and FARO arm inspection with Certificate of Conformance documentation. It serves a diversified mix of US Military and government agencies, oil and gas operators, OEM manufacturers, private businesses, and end users across the United States with claimed worldwide product implementations.

The business model is project-based custom manufacturing: each engagement is scoped, quoted, and priced individually by the in-house sales and product delivery team against customer specifications, with no public price list, no subscription, and no channel or reseller network. Customer acquisition is direct and relationship-driven, with personalized contact routed to owner Michael Facchini ('Mike'), and the company relies on a minimal marketing footprint centered on its website, a LinkedIn page, and a 2011 featured article in EDM Today. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding history, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and an 11-50 employee headcount; an Investor Relations contact is published on the website, which is a soft signal that the ownership group may be evaluating outside capital or a transaction.

Operationally, FIMS holds an ISO quality certification and reports 0% missed deadlines alongside record production output, though most of the public-facing operational claims originate from a 2011 industry article and a 2013 facility relocation, limiting the recency of the growth signal. The company is differentiated less by proprietary IP and more by multi-decade family craftsmanship, a full-stack in-house capability set, and certified precision work for mission-critical defense and industrial customers.
