VJ Industries

What VJ Industries does

VJ Industries, Inc. is a privately held CNC machining job shop founded circa 1983 and headquartered in Marine City, Michigan. The company operates a fleet of Mazak CNC equipment including Quick Turn series turning centers, VCN vertical machining centers, HCN horizontal machining centers (including dual-pallet HCN-5000 units), and AWEA machines, supplemented by Renishaw probing and measuring systems. Technical capabilities span CNC turning (including large-diameter and large-length work) and CNC milling on a 60" x 120" work envelope, with twin spindle turning machines equipped with live tooling enabling multi-operation processing without work piece rehandling. Materials processed include stainless steels, aluminum, plastics, carbon steels, alloys, nylons, acrylics, and delrins, in forms ranging from rod and bar stock to plate, block, casting, forging, and extrusion.

VJ Industries serves as a tier-2 supplier into enterprise OEMs across automotive (Detroit Diesel, GM, Ford, Chrysler), aerospace (Lockheed Martin F-16 flap actuation components, aerospace tooling manufacturers), heavy equipment (Caterpillar), agricultural (John Deere diesel connecting rods), recreational (Honda motorcycles), and miscellaneous military programs. Service scope spans proof-of-concept prototypes, short-run pre-production, semi-production, and full production runs, with documented emergency backup machining capacity offered across all served industries. Past work includes prototype brake calipers, drive components for 4WD trucks, oil pump housings, exhaust manifolds, EV battery system components, and hydrogen fuel cell components in prototype stages.

The business model is quote-based project work: customers submit specifications via a website quote form (GravityForm-based), phone, or fax, and pricing is determined per project based on material, complexity, run size, and turnaround. The multi-year contract cadence and emergency backup service offering provide relationship continuity beyond pure transactional job work. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting U.S. manufacturing buyers, supported by a website with industry-specific pages, an equipment list, a portfolio gallery, and basic social media presence. No public revenue, headcount disclosure beyond a 11–50 employee range, or ownership/transaction data is available.
