Production Machining & Threading

What Production Machining & Threading does

Production Machining & Threading, Inc. (PMT) is a privately-held precision CNC machine shop founded in 1986 and headquartered in a 12,000 square foot facility at N118W18426 Bunsen Drive, Germantown, Wisconsin. The company provides contract CNC machining services — CNC turning, CNC milling, surface grinding, and laser marking — to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across the Midwest and nationwide, with specific capabilities for military, defense, and government clients under its ITAR registration. PMT works across a broad material set that includes stainless and tool steels, aluminum, titanium, Inconel, and engineering plastics such as acetal.

The shop operates four core production capabilities as a unified single-source service: CNC turning on centers equipped with live tooling, Y-axis milling, and sub-spindles (tolerances of ±.0005 inches across a .050"–10" OD range); 3- and 4-axis CNC milling within a 32" x 16" work envelope; precision surface grinding to ±.0001 inches; and AS478-15-capable laser marking for part numbers, barcodes, dot matrix, QR codes, and logos on metals and plastics. Differentiators cited by the company include ITAR compliance for defense work, ultra-tight tolerance capability, materials breadth including exotic alloys, and comprehensive in-process and post-process inspection with material and finishing certifications.

Commercially, PMT runs a sales-led, direct B2B model with quote-based pricing on a per-job basis; there are no public price lists, no recurring or subscription contracts, and no channel partners or marketplace presence. Customer acquisition occurs through the company website, direct email and phone inquiries, and facility walk-ins. The company is actively hiring CNC machinists, indicating capacity expansion, and operates without disclosed external investment, parent ownership, partnerships, M&A activity, or named enterprise customers.
