What Frederick Machine & Manufacturing does

Frederick Machine & Manufacturing is a privately held, third-generation family-owned contract machine shop founded in 1945 and headquartered in a 34,000 square-foot facility at 405 Ludington Street in Buffalo, NY. The company offers four integrated service lines — Fabrication, OEM Industrial, OEM Pharma/Food/Beverage, and Machine Repair — for medium-to-large components, delivered through a one-stop shop combining welding, CNC machining, waterjet cutting, large-format turning, EDM, and on-site installation. Customer segments include industrial equipment OEMs (turbines, compressors, motors, hydraulic components, construction and mining equipment), construction contractors, industrial MRO buyers across water/wastewater, power generation, oil & gas, food processing, nuclear, and recycling, and process-equipment OEMs in regulated pharmaceutical and food/beverage industries.

The company is differentiated primarily by capital intensity and certifications: 5-axis CNC capacity up to 64 inches, CNC turning up to 72 inch diameter and 20 feet long, a 7 ft x 12 ft waterjet cutting up to 6 inches thick, Mitsubishi EDM, and a temperature-controlled quality lab with a Brown & Sharpe CMM, all supported by redundant equipment and overhead crane capacity (two 5-ton, two 7-ton). Quality credentials include AS9100D with ISO 9001:2015, ASME Section IX welding, AWS D1.1/D1.2/D1.6, an NQA-1 certified auditor for nuclear documentation, and a New York State Woman Owned Business Enterprise certification that qualifies the firm for state and federal set-aside contracts.

Revenue is generated entirely through quote-based project pricing for custom manufacturing and repair work, with no public price list. GTM is sales-led: customers reach out via phone (716-892-1425), email ([email protected]), or a website Request a Quote form.
