Quality CNC and local northeast Ohio leadership continue . When local business and political leaders plan together for growth, great things happen for all!

One of the most common misconceptions of our machining industry from outsiders is that women are still only working in the front office. Day after day, year after year, we see the reality out in the field. Women on the shop floor, in leadership positions, playing a vital role in ensuring that good parts get out the door to their customers. There’s simply no dispute that women today are playing an ever increasing and more integral role in the successful production of precision machined parts. At EMC Precision, Citizen set –up specialist, Sarah Grieve, is a key cog in the fine-tuned EMC machine and cornerstone for their future growth.

Doubling capacity in just 2 weeks to meet vital ventilator demand?!?! Absolutely incredible, but not totally surprising knowing the skilled, capable team of Clippard Instrument Laboratory in Cincinnati, OH. Keep up the great work!

US manufacturing will emerge stronger than ever!

We like this idea... 🇺🇸 💯

Spotted on busy Lake Rd. on the west side of Cleveland, OH.
As our service manager put so perfectly: “To all the machinists in this country, be proud of what you do. All the parts you make, DO make this country and economy go round!”

In what is undoubtedly the greatest US manufacturing challenge since WW2, Ohio and Pennsylvania manufacturers continue to answer the bell. Strongsville-based, Precision Production, has recently switched over multiple Citizen-Cincom machines to begin immediate production of needed ventilator components. Thank you, PPI team!
