When it comes to East Coast manufacturing companies, customers need capability, reliability, experience, and a team that can solve real production challenges. That is exactly why this next chapter is such an exciting one. For decades, Precise Tool & Manufacturing and Advantech Industries have operated as sister companies, each bringing unique strengths to the manufacturing world.
Now, that relationship is becoming even more powerful. With John Gizzi, President of Precise Tool & Manufacturing, officially taking a leadership role with Advantech Industries, two long-standing manufacturing forces are aligning in a bigger way than ever before.
This is more than a business update. It is the joining of two East Coast manufacturing giants with a shared history, exceptional talent, and a stronger vision for serving customers across a wide range of industries. One of the biggest benefits of this expanded relationship is what it means for customers who need custom sheet metal parts.
Expanding Capabilities Through a Stronger Partnership
At Precise Tool & Manufacturing, we have built our reputation on large-scale CNC machining, precision, and the ability to take on complex work with confidence. Through this strengthened leadership connection with Advantech Industries, we are now able to expand our capabilities in a major way, especially in the area of sheet metal fabrication.
With a strong lineup of equipment, including extensive use of OMADA machines, Advantech adds serious power and flexibility to what we can now offer customers as a more connected manufacturing team.
That means customers who already trust Precise Tool & Manufacturing for machining solutions can now look to us for expanded sheet metal fabrication support as well. It opens the door to more complete solutions, better coordination, and new ways to support custom part production from start to finish.
Advantech Industries brings advanced sheet metal fabrication services that include:
Assembly
Assembly brings multiple fabricated components together into a more complete part or finished product, helping customers reduce outside processing and simplify their supply chain. It can save time, improve coordination, and deliver a more ready-to-use solution.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting uses a focused beam to cut sheet metal with high precision, making it ideal for intricate shapes, clean edges, and repeatable custom parts. It is a strong solution for customers who need accuracy, speed, and consistency.
Water Jet
Water jet cutting uses a high-pressure stream to cut material without introducing heat, which can be especially useful for parts that need to avoid heat-affected zones or distortion. It offers versatility across different materials and thicknesses.
Bending / Forming
Bending and forming shapes flat sheet metal into brackets, panels, enclosures, channels, and many other custom geometries. This process is essential for turning cut parts into functional components with strength and dimensional accuracy.
Turret Punching & More
Turret punching is an efficient process for creating holes, slots, louvers, and other features in sheet metal quickly and consistently. It is especially cost-effective for higher-volume work and parts with repeated patterns or features.
More Room to Grow, More Capacity to Deliver
Another major advantage in this new chapter is Advantech’s additional 40,000 square feet of open space for expansion, creating even more opportunity for high-volume manufacturing work. That space matters. It positions us to grow strategically, increase throughput, and support customers whose needs demand both flexibility and scale.
For customers, this means working with a manufacturing partner that is not standing still. It means partnering with companies that are actively building for the future and creating the capacity needed to take on new projects, more complex requirements, and higher production demands.
Why Sheet Metal Fabrication Matters for Custom Parts
One of the biggest benefits of this expanded relationship is what it means for customers who need custom sheet metal parts.
Sheet metal fabrication is often one of the most practical and cost-effective manufacturing solutions for a wide range of parts and assemblies. It allows customers to create brackets, panels, enclosures, structural components, supports, covers, frames, and many other custom parts with strong repeatability and efficiency.
Processes like turret punching, bending, forming, laser cutting, and water jet cutting give customers the flexibility to produce parts that meet exact design needs without overcomplicating production. In many cases, sheet metal fabrication can help reduce waste, improve lead times, and streamline manufacturing compared to alternative approaches.
For current Precise customers, this means sheet metal fabrication may now be a highly viable solution for projects and goals that require formed metal components, fabricated assemblies, or production parts that do not necessarily need to be machined from larger solid material. It gives customers more options and helps ensure the manufacturing process is matched to the real needs of the part.
Benefits for Customers Across Industries
This stronger connection between Precise Tool & Manufacturing and Advantech Industries offers practical benefits across many sectors.
For customers in defense, sheet metal fabrication can support housings, panels, brackets, supports, and assemblies where consistency, durability, and disciplined processes are essential.
For medical applications, fabricated sheet metal parts can be used for equipment enclosures, support structures, frames, and precision-formed components that require clean, reliable production.
For industrial customers, sheet metal fabrication is often ideal for guards, machine components, cabinets, frames, covers, and custom fabricated parts used in equipment and production environments.
The Power of Great Equipment and Exceptional People
Capabilities matter, but people are what truly make manufacturing partnerships work. One of the most exciting parts of this expanded alignment is the exceptional team behind it.
Advantech Industries brings outstanding talent, skill, and fabrication knowledge to the table. Combined with the experience and leadership of the Precise team, this creates a stronger overall organization built on craftsmanship, responsiveness, and real manufacturing know-how.
With advanced equipment, expanded space, and a highly capable team, we are positioned to help customers tackle projects with more confidence and more possibilities than ever before.
A Stronger One-Stop Solution on the East Coast
For customers searching for East Coast manufacturing companies that can support a broader range of project needs, this partnership creates a major advantage.
Instead of relying on disconnected vendors for separate services, customers can now benefit from a more unified solution that combines the machining strength of Precise Tool & Manufacturing with the advanced sheet metal fabrication capabilities of Advantech Industries.
That means better coordination, expanded capabilities, improved efficiency, and a more strategic manufacturing partner for the future.
Two Giants, One Bigger Vision
This is an exciting moment for both companies. After decades as sister companies, Precise Tool & Manufacturing and Advantech Industries are stepping into a stronger, more unified future together.
With John Gizzi taking an official leadership role with Advantech, with expanded sheet metal fabrication capabilities now strengthening our overall offering, with additional room for growth and high-volume production, and with exceptional talent driving the work forward, this is the kind of move that creates real value for customers.
Two East Coast manufacturing giants are combining in a bigger way, and the result is a stronger partner for your next project.
