Our Story
Two engineers, one garage, and a relentless drive to make precision manufacturing faster.
It started with a 12-week wait
Alex Chen and Jordan Mills met in an advanced manufacturing lab at MIT. Both mechanical engineers, both frustrated by the same thing: getting a simple prototype machined took 12 weeks and cost a fortune.
After graduating, they spent years at aerospace and robotics firms watching the same bottleneck slow down every project. Talented engineering teams stuck waiting on parts. In 2019, they decided to fix it themselves.
They pooled their savings, set up a Haas CNC mill in a garage in Austin, Texas, and started taking orders. Their pitch was simple: precision parts, faster. Within six months, they had outgrown the garage. Within two years, they had shipped over a million parts.
Today, ACME Co operates two facilities across two continents, employs over 200 people, and serves customers in robotics, aerospace, and electric vehicles. The mission hasn't changed: precision at scale, without the wait.

What We Stand For
Precision
Every micron matters. We obsess over tolerances, surface finishes, and dimensional accuracy because our customers build systems where failure is not an option.
Speed
Time-to-market wins contracts. We have invested in automation, parallel workflows, and on-demand capacity so our customers never have to wait.
Transparency
No black boxes. From real-time order tracking to full inspection reports, we give our customers complete visibility into every step of the manufacturing process.
