CNC Machining

What CNC Machining does

CNC Machining, Inc. is a family-owned precision CNC machining contract manufacturer founded in 1983 by Greg Brous and his father Gary Brous, operating from a 10,000 square foot facility at 510 S. Fairview Ave. in Goleta, California. The company runs 23 CNC machining centers, predominantly HAAS 5-axis (VF-3 and VF-4), 4-axis, and 3-axis mills, alongside Akira Seiki and HAAS lathes, supported by a modern CAM system and inspection equipment including CMMs and optical comparators. It holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and is positioned to machine tight-tolerance, complex-geometry parts in difficult materials such as titanium, stainless steel, kovar, and glass-filled plastics.

The firm serves four primary verticals: medical (devices, surgical instruments, implants, diagnostic equipment), automotive and aerospace (precision components with complex geometries), and research institutions (prototype and fixture work). Its core offering is a unified set of manufacturing capabilities—5-axis, 3/4-axis, lathe operations, prototype parts, and production runs—wrapped in a quality assurance process that delivers First Article, In-Process, and Final Inspection reports with each shipment.

CNC Machining generates revenue on a project-based, custom-quote model; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per-job based on complexity, materials, tolerances, and volume. The go-to-market is entirely direct B2B, with customers submitting quote requests via email to [email protected] or [email protected], and the company supports blanket-order arrangements with as-needed part releases for production clients. Distribution is regional (California/USA), with no resellers, marketplaces, or external sales channels in use. Leadership consists of CEO Greg Brous (sales and customer relations) and President of Operations Rob Meaney (production and service), and the company is actively hiring machinists to support ongoing operations.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• 5 Axis Machining Precision 5-axis machining service that allows machining of five sides of a part in a single operation, reducing overall operations, improving accuracy, and decreasing run times and costs. Enables machining of close-tolerance complex 3D shapes without workholding and fixturing problems associated with multiple operations.
• 3 & 4 Axis Machining Machining centers set up with multiple vises to run production parts efficiently and accurately. Capable of machining complex parts in one or two operations where that might otherwise take six, resulting in improved quality and reduced time and costs.
• Lathe Operations CNC lathe services for manufacturing parts both large and small. Capabilities include turning, boring, grooving, knurling, drilling, tapping, and producing standard or custom thread sizes. Holds tight tolerances on large production runs or single prototype pieces.
• Prototype Parts Manufacturing Prototype part production for stand-alone pieces, fixtures, or parts leading to production runs. Capable of machining complex parts with 3D surfacing and features on multiple sides, as well as simple washers.
• Production Parts Manufacturing High-volume production manufacturing using twenty-three CNC machining centers. Supports blanket orders with parts released on an as-needed basis, with large production runs for reduced costs and timely delivery.
• Quality Assurance & Inspection ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system with continuous improvement philosophy. Includes First Article and In-Process Inspection, Final Inspection Reports, and inspection equipment such as CMMs, optical comparators, and precision measuring tools.
