Cox Manufacturing began with humble origins in a rented space with just one Swiss automatic screw machine. Since then, it has grown into a leading provider of small part production machining services. Mike Petrusch, Vice President of Manufacturing, shares a more detailed overview:“ Founded in 1956, by William Cox Sr, the company is still privately held by the Cox family. It is currently owned and managed by the second generation, Bill Cox with the third generation in the business, learning everything that’ s needed to eventually take over the running of the company.
“ We offer high volume precision machining, we turn north of seven million parts per month, primarily Swiss type parts under 19 millimeters in diameter, but we also have some fixed head stock capacity up to 65 and 80 millimeters. With the range of products we offer, we serve an array of industries including aerospace, medical, trucking, automotive, musical instruments, beverage systems, and electronics, as well as defense aerospace.”
Michael then explains how the company maintains a balance between manufacturing at such a scale, maintaining the quality levels and meeting clients’ expectations:
