What Free Force Machining Technology Inc. does

Free Force Machining Technology Inc. is a CNC Swiss screw machining job shop founded in 2007 in St. Catharines, Ontario, by Steve and Heather Charlton. The firm specializes in small-diameter precision-turned components, producing parts from 0.2mm to 38mm in diameter with lengths exceeding 2 meters, and accepts production runs ranging from 5-piece prototypes to 50,000+ piece production orders. Its equipment base includes 13 CNC machines, notably a STAR SR38 Type B 10-axis Swiss screw machine with 1.5-inch bar capacity.

The business is built around AS9100D aerospace certification, ISO 9001:2015 certification, and DFARS-compliant material handling, which together position it as an approved supplier for aerospace, defense, energy/oil & gas, medical, industrial, and automation customers. It serves both prototype and production volumes, and ships globally. The competitive differentiation rests on eighteen years of accumulated Swiss machining process knowledge, advanced CAD/CAM programming capability, and the ability to hold tight tolerances across a wide dimensional envelope.

The firm is privately held and founder-operated, with no disclosed outside funding, no parent company, and no software or digital platform product beyond a corporate website. Pricing is project-based per machined part, with revenue tied to part complexity, certification tier, order volume, and material. No revenue figures, customer logos, or headcount beyond a 1-10 employee band have been disclosed.
