OEM custom manufacturing needs for machined parts has been our most frequent supplier search. Since these parts can cover a wide spectrum of materials, quantities, and sizes, the appropriate equipment also covers a wide spectrum

A machining center (or many of them) is usually the answer for most machining requirements. Proficient Sourcing has a network of a dozen companies that have all manner of machining and turning centers and stand ready to respond to your needs.

If your requirements involve low quantities, high precision, and prototyping, we have suppliers in that space. At the high volume end, we have a supplier with over 60 individual machining centers. Automatic pallet changers are featured in some cases.

Since these companies have different customers, there is also a wide array of secondary and specialized capabilities such as stamping presses, grinding, deep hole drilling, hydromats, EDM, equipment building and assembly, engineering, and more. Our capability web page  has more details about several of these, and we will be expanding those details in the near future.

We have excellent performing supplier candidates for virtually any machining need. Many of these suppliers have ISO, AS, and TS certifications, ITAR registration, SAM registration, and even minority, woman, or disabled veteran owned small business certifications.

If your size requirements are either larger or smaller than machining centers typically handle, we have suppliers specializing in micro-machining and extra large machining. If you have exceptionally large machining requirements, we have additional information on that particular capability here.

However, the basic workhorse for machining parts is the machining center, and we would welcome your inquiries. We can give you suitable candidates for your work, and probably multiple competitors. Just give us a call (513) 489-5252.
