Schenectady’s manufacturing base grew up around General Electric’s turbine and locomotive works, and that legacy still shapes what local buyers expect from a machine shop: documented quality, tight tolerances, and parts that show up on schedule. We have been family-operated since 1986, and every part that leaves our 7,000 square foot facility is inspected and recorded under our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system before it ships. We are not located in Schenectady itself, we run our shop out of Norfolk, NY in St. Lawrence County, but we ship into Schenectady County and the wider Capital Region on a regular schedule via the I-90 corridor, and we work with both prototype orders and full production runs.
Manufacturers in Schenectady County choose us because we combine ISO 9001:2015 documentation, in-house engineering, and a full range of CNC processes under one roof, so a single supplier can take a part from a sketch through inspection without handing it off to three different vendors. That matters most in the industries that already anchor this region’s economy: energy and pipeline work tied to the area’s turbine manufacturing history, aerospace, and medical device production.
We have supported long-term customers including Siemens Energy, Alcoa, NuMED, and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and we bring that same documentation standard to every Capital Region order.
Our 7,000 square foot facility in Norfolk, NY includes a loading dock and a 5-ton crane for handling heavier work pieces and fixtures, and we can run a second shift when a Schenectady County customer has an urgent deadline. That combination of floor space, lifting capacity, and shift flexibility lets us take on both quick-turn prototype orders and larger production releases without one type of order crowding out the other.
We machine parts for the aerospace, energy, natural gas and pipeline, medical, semiconductor-adjacent, general manufacturing, automotive, and racing industries. Several of these map directly onto Schenectady County’s own industrial base: the energy and pipeline work follows naturally from a region that manufactured turbines and heavy electrical equipment for more than a century, and the medical and semiconductor-adjacent work fits alongside the Capital Region’s growing advanced manufacturing sector.
We ship into the Capital Region, including Schenectady County, on a regular basis via the I-90 corridor, and we handle both one-off prototype shipments and recurring production releases on that route. Whether your facility sits in Schenectady proper, out toward Rotterdam or Niskayuna, or across the Mohawk River in Scotia or Glenville, we plan freight on the same corridor and can coordinate delivery timing around your production schedule.
We’ve been family-operated since 1986, which means the people quoting your job and the people running it have been doing this for decades, not months. That kind of continuity shows up in fewer surprises: tolerances held the first time, finishes that match spec, and a team that gives you a straight answer about lead time instead of an optimistic guess. Long-term relationships are how we’ve stayed in business this long, and we treat every new Albany-area customer as one we want to keep, not a one-off order.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No, our machine shop is located in Norfolk, NY in St. Lawrence County, not in Schenectady itself. We serve Schenectady County and the broader Capital Region through regular freight shipments along the I-90 corridor, handling both prototype and production orders for customers there.
Our cylindrical and surface grinding holds tolerances to .0001″, and our CNC milling and turning are held to the tolerances called out on your print, verified through documented inspection under our ISO 9001:2015 system. Aerospace, energy, and medical customers in the Capital Region typically specify tolerances in this range.
Yes, we run both prototype and production volume work through the same facility, using high-speed CNC lathes with automatic turret for higher-volume turned parts and conversational programming lathes for lower-volume or larger pieces. A second shift is available when a Capital Region customer has an urgent production deadline.
We offer manufacturing engineering services in addition to machining, producing 2D or 3D CAD drawings from a sketch, a verbal description, or an existing design. This lets Schenectady County engineering teams work through tolerancing and manufacturability with us before a part goes into production.
We currently serve the aerospace, energy, natural gas and pipeline, medical, semiconductor-adjacent, general manufacturing, automotive, and racing industries, including long-term customers such as Siemens Energy, Alcoa, NuMED, and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. Several of these industries align closely with Schenectady County’s own energy and advanced manufacturing base.
Yes, we hold ISO 9001:2015 certification and inspect every part against its print before shipment, with that inspection documented as part of our quality management system. Capital Region customers in aerospace, energy, and medical manufacturing can request that documentation as part of the order.
