At Superior Machining & Fabrication, we’re always trying to stay at least one step ahead of our customers’ production challenges. New types of parts, higher-volume demands, and difficult-to-machine materials call for new tooling solutions in some cases, or completely new equipment investments in others. That means we have an evolving shop floor: the most recent […]

We don’t consider CNC grinding to be a secondary process, regardless of when it takes place in the manufacturing cycle. Just like milling and turning, grinding is a core capability if you want to produce high-precision parts with complex geometries that standard machining alone can’t achieve. Serving industries like oil & gas, aerospace, and industrial […]
In a way, the American oil and gas industry is powered by precision manufacturing. From the wellheads to the refinery, every component in the supply chain has to perform under extreme pressure, high temperatures, and relentless mechanical stress. When a part fails or a shipment is delayed, the downstream consequences are costly, even sometimes dangerous. […]
For years, OEMs and Tier 1 aerospace suppliers quietly offshored many of their small, specialized hardware components: fasteners, bushings, pins…all of the micro-precision parts that hold aircraft together. The logic was that lower labor costs made the numbers work, even if the supply chains and logistics involved were sometimes a headache. However, for many suppliers […]
When a valve body fails thousands of feet underground, or a pump housing cracks on an offshore platform, the consequences extend far beyond simple downtime. Critical equipment failures in the oil and gas industry today run the risk of environmental issues, safety hazards, and regulatory trouble…not to mention huge losses in revenue. That’s why selecting […]
Machining high-precision parts and hardware for modern aerospace applications can be challenging to say the least. It’s one of, if not the strictest industry for manufacturers, with good reason: there are many cases where a component’s failure is not just costly, but potentially catastrophic. That’s why AS9100D certification is essentially a prerequisite for today’s aerospace […]
