You want defense work. It starts with your factory.

Most plants say about 40% of what they can do.

Pick the work you want more of, then scroll. We'll read your plant the way a prime's supplier quality engineer would.

THE WORK I WANT

AS SAID

The rest never reaches a buyer.

It lives in your programmers' heads, the quality manual and a folder of old quotes. A supplier quality engineer at a prime can only qualify what they can read.

About 40% is our rule of thumb from working with manufacturers. Some plants say as little as 20%.

YOUR CAPABILITIES PAGE, AS A BUYER READS IT

We are a full-service CNC machine shop. We offer milling and turning, from prototype to production, and every part is inspected to print. We machine titanium and 17-4 PH on two five-axis machines and hold ±0.0005 in on production. Every first article goes to AS9102 on a temperature-controlled CMM. We are AS9100D certified and ITAR registered, with an active SAM registration, a CAGE code and CMMC Level 2 certification. We source DFARS-compliant specialty metals, and controlled parts stay in a badge-access area for U.S. persons only. Quick turn. Send us your RFQ.

THE BLUEPRINT

The Blueprint puts the rest of your plant in ink.

We capture what your plant can truly do from your website, your documents, meetings with your team and an on-site visit. Every machine, material, tolerance, process and certification goes on one record.

ROUTED

The more you say, the harder the work that finds you.

Complex jobs go to suppliers who can do several hard things under one roof and prove each one. When a buyer can trace the whole route through your plant, the job that pays for your five-axis can come to you. Fewer shops can quote work like that, which leaves more room on price.

INTELLIGENCE

From there, the intelligence learns your plant, then your competitors, then your market.

Your capabilities are supply. What buyers need made is demand. Every quote, call and question you share feeds back into the record. It reads the shops you lose jobs to and marks what they say that you don't. Then it maps who buys the work you want and what they ask of a supplier. Underneath sits IKE, our Industrial Knowledge Engine: connected manufacturing knowledge that translates one into the other.

SITESONAR

SiteSonar names the companies already reading about your plant.

SiteSonar is always on. When a company visits your website, SiteSonar names it from the network the visit came from, filters out bots and keeps the visit history: which pages, how often, how long. Home and mobile networks often can't be tied to a company, so we leave them unnamed. We name the company and hand you the right people to call.

Coming: in development, not on production yet.

BUILD

We build a page for every capability in ink.

We build and maintain your website with unlimited development. Each capability gets a page a buyer can land on, read and send an RFQ from. We plan the content around the work you want. Every page is another door into your plant.

EXPAND

Then we put those pages where buyers look.

Search, ads, AI answers, social, blogging, content syndication and a listing in Industrial Source, our manufacturing directory. Every channel points to a page that says exactly what you do. When an engineer asks an AI assistant who can machine titanium under ITAR, your plant should have a page worth citing.

NEW WORK · MONDAY, 6:00 AM

This is how you fill your factory.

New content brings new people. New people leave new signals. SiteSonar shows what they read, our team ships the next page, and the next job lands on a machine that was waiting for it. Each turn aims more of your hours at the work you chose. New work comes in. The wheel turns.

Illustration. Your mix depends on your plant, your market and how your team follows up.
