Our Purpose

Our History
The idea was born in a barn through relentless ambition. In 2003, Todd Freeland began his journey armed with nothing but a CNC Lathe and a vision. His small operation on a family farm soon outgrew its rustic beginnings.
Our exceptional dedication brought the demand for our precision-engineered parts to new heights. We remain committed to our core values of integrity, innovation, and continuous improvement.
