Manufacturers, engineers, and procurement teams across the Capital Region come to Northern Machining, Inc. when a part has to be right the first time. We’ve been running CNC mills, lathes, and grinders since 1986, and we hold ourselves to ISO 9001:2015 standards on every job that leaves our shop, whether it’s headed to an aerospace supplier in Albany or a Tier 1 manufacturer along the Hudson.
ISO 9001:2015 certification means Northern Machining follows a documented, audited quality management system on every order, not just the ones flagged as critical. For Albany-area buyers supplying aerospace, medical device, or semiconductor-adjacent programs, that matters because their own customers often require traceable quality documentation from every tier of the supply chain. We built our inspection process around catching deviations before parts leave the building, using tight-tolerance measurement and a documented sign-off, so the paperwork matches the part.
Our 7,000 square foot facility includes a loading dock and a 5-ton crane, which lets us take on heavier fixtures and larger assemblies without outsourcing the handling. When an Albany-area program hits a hard deadline, we can bring on second-shift capacity to keep a job moving rather than pushing it to the back of the queue. That flexibility has mattered most for customers in aerospace and energy, where a missed machining slot can stall an entire assembly line.
Our customer base runs from aerospace and energy to medical and racing, and the Albany area touches nearly all of it. We’ve supplied precision components used by companies like Alcoa and institutions like Johns Hopkins, and we work with medical device manufacturers such as NuMED and energy customers including Siemens. Locally, that translates to work supporting:
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
When your next project demands a prototype that performs exactly as designed, a single custom piece that cannot fail, or precision equipment built for a specialized process, Northern Machining delivers the accuracy and accountability B2B teams require.
Since 1986 we have partnered with engineers, procurement managers, and manufacturing leaders who cannot afford “close enough.” Our ISO 9001:2015-certified shop turns concepts, sketches, and complex prints into production-ready parts, holding tolerances to .0001″ so your programs stay on schedule and your supply chain stays protected.
We ship precision machined parts to manufacturers throughout Albany County, Rensselaer County, Saratoga County, and Schenectady County, along with the broader Capital Region and Tech Valley corridor. Beyond Albany, we also serve customers across New York, including Syracuse and Rochester, and support national and international shipments for customers who need consistent quality regardless of distance.
