About MachineCraft
27 years of precision engineering, innovation, and unwavering commitment to our customers.
“To engineer industrial machinery that manufactures are proud to depend on — for decades.”
MachineCraft was founded on a simple belief: manufacturers deserve machinery that works as hard as they do. From our first CNC lathe to our latest AI-powered machining centers, that belief has never changed.
27 Years of
Industrial Innovation
Founded in Detroit in 1998, MachineCraft began as a seven-person machine tool service company. Within five years, we were designing and manufacturing our own CNC machining centers — built around one principle: the best machine is the one that never lets you down.
Today, MachineCraft employs 820 people across 12 countries. Our R&D team of 80 engineers holds 140+ patents in precision motion control, thermal compensation, and industrial AI. Our products serve customers in aerospace, automotive, medical devices, electronics, oil & gas, and general manufacturing.
In 2022, we crossed a milestone: our 1,200th global customer installation. Each one represents a manufacturer who trusted us with their production — and that responsibility shapes every decision we make.
Our Core Values
Precision First
Every machine we build is held to tolerances that exceed customer requirements. There is no such thing as 'close enough' at MachineCraft.
Built to Last
We over-engineer our products. Our machines are designed for 20+ years of productive service with proper maintenance.
Customer Success
Our success is measured by your uptime, your yield, and your production efficiency — not by the volume of machines we ship.
