Growth is never about square footage for its own sake, it's about what we can build, how accurately we can build it, how reliably we can deliver, and how confidently our customers can scale with us. That is exactly what our newest building expansion represents.
After five months of construction—from August 2025 through January 2026—our major facility addition is nearing completion. In the blog you’ll find a time-lapse video capturing the project from the ground up: the early earthwork and foundation, the steel rising, the enclosure coming together, and the space taking its final shape. It is a visual reminder of something we take seriously: sustained investment in the people, equipment, and infrastructure needed to remain a top-tier manufacturing partner on the East Coast.
This 40,000 square-foot expansion is not just “more room.” It is a purpose-built high-bay manufacturing environment designed for next-generation machining, heavy material handling, automation, and higher-throughput production—without compromising the quality standards that define Precise.
A Facility Designed for Large-Scale Work and Modern Flow
The new addition includes:
-
40,000 sq ft of added manufacturing space
-
A 50-foot-tall high-bay
-
Two 100-foot-wide bays
-
A 100-foot-wide crane span
Those numbers matter because they translate directly into real manufacturing advantages. A high-bay with this height and crane coverage improves how we stage material, move large components safely, and set up complex jobs efficiently. Wide bays and a broad crane span provide flexibility in layout and workflow—supporting everything from large one-off builds to repeatable high-volume programs.
For customers, this means fewer constraints. It means the ability to take on larger parts, more complex assemblies, more parallel jobs, and more sophisticated scheduling without bottlenecks. It also means improved safety and better utilization of floor space—both critical when heavy machining and tight tolerances meet demanding lead times.
New Machines That Expand What’s Possible
A building expansion only matters if it enables new capability. This one does—immediately.
As part of this project, our team traveled to Japan to purchase major new equipment investments, including:
-
New horizontal boring mills
-
A 98” VTL
-
A new Mazak 100” x 160” vertical FJV—the largest of its kind
-
A PALLETTECH automation system with 42 pallets, supporting five new horizontal machines for unmanned operations
Each of these items represents a meaningful expansion of what we can produce and how we can produce it.
Horizontal Boring Mills: Strength for Big Parts, Precision for Tight Requirements
Horizontal boring mills are a backbone capability for large, heavy, high-precision work. They are ideal when parts require deep drilling, rigid machining, and stable geometry control—especially with large weldments, castings, and complex multi-face components. Adding new HBM capacity in a dedicated space allows us to increase throughput on demanding work while maintaining the process discipline required for tight-tolerance outcomes.
Mazak 100” x 160” Vertical FJV: A New Ceiling for Capability
We are bringing in a 100” x 160” vertical FJV Mazak, which exceeds even the capabilities of our existing fleet of 60/120 FJV machines. It provides the combination of work envelope and rigidity required to machine very large plates, complex base structures, and large-format components with the precision and finish customers expect from Precise.
In short: we are building capacity for work that many shops on the East Coast simply cannot support—especially at the scale, quality, and schedule discipline required in high-stakes industries.
More Advancements Coming To Our Operation in 2026
Modern machining competitiveness increasingly depends on how efficiently a shop can run—particularly outside normal hours—while maintaining consistent quality.
We're also going to add a PALLETTECH system that will support 42 pallets that can be pre-set and prepared in advance, feeding into five new horizontal machines configured for unmanned operations.
This changes the production equation:
-
More spindle uptime without requiring constant manual intervention
-
Improved repeatability through standardized palletized setups
-
Faster changeovers and better scheduling flexibility
-
Higher throughput on repeat programs and high-volume projects
-
Stronger delivery performance under tight timelines
For customers running production programs—or those looking to move from prototype into scale—this is the kind of infrastructure that reduces lead times, stabilizes output, and improves cost efficiency over time.
Tool Crib Modernization: Process Control at the Next Level
As capability expands, process control becomes even more critical. Alongside the building and machine investments, we are also expanding and modernizing our tool crib operations with the latest Parsetter technology, and we are moving toward a system where RFID chips will be integrated into all tools.
That is not “tech for tech’s sake.” Tool management directly affects:
-
setup accuracy and repeatability
-
tool life tracking and replacement planning
-
tool availability across departments
-
accountability and auditability in the tool chain
-
reduction in downtime caused by tooling issues
RFID-enabled tooling systems can dramatically improve traceability and reduce friction in daily operations—particularly in complex machining environments with high tool counts and frequent changeovers. It’s a practical investment that supports consistency, quality assurance, and scale.
A Stronger Partnership with Advantech: Expanded Scale, Expanded Opportunity
This expansion also reflects a broader strategy: strengthening our manufacturing ecosystem and improving what we can deliver as a combined force.
Our partner company Advantech is becoming even more closely aligned with Precise, expanding the kinds of unique and higher-volume projects we can support together. With their advanced technologies and a 200,000sqft facility located right down the road, the collaboration is positioned to bring customers a wider range of solutions—especially when projects demand both specialized capability and scalable throughput.
As this relationship deepens, it opens the door to more integrated programs: projects that require multiple processes, multiple phases, and a coordinated manufacturing approach that can support everything from early builds through sustained production.
What This Means for Customers
For customers in industries where quality, reliability, and execution matter, this expansion is a signal of long-term commitment. It means:
-
bigger capacity
-
more advanced equipment
-
automation infrastructure
-
modernized tooling systems
-
an expanded network
This is how you build manufacturing leadership: not by talking about excellence, but by investing in it—systematically and consistently.
