Our Mission
We built MachineShop.Directory because we've seen too many projects fail due to unreliable suppliers. In defense and aerospace, there's no margin for error - quality, compliance, and reliability aren't just important, they're mission-critical.
Our platform connects you with 1,000+ verified machine shops, including 1,000+government-verified suppliers with CAGE codes. Every shop is vetted using our decades of industry experience and government-grade verification processes.

Why We Built This Platform
After decades in mechanical engineering and defense contracting, we've witnessed countless projects derailed by supplier failures. A single unreliable machine shop can cost months of delays and millions in overruns.
Traditional supplier directories are just phone books - they don't verify capabilities, compliance, or financial stability. We built MachineShop.Directory to be different: a platform where every supplier is vetted using the same standards we'd apply to our own critical projects.
Our government-grade verification process ensures you're connected with suppliers who can deliver on time, within spec, and with full compliance to your industry requirements.
