Kearney, Nebraska
CNC Service for Kearney Manufacturers
Our Waterloo, IA facility sits 511 miles east of Kearney — about 8 hours one-way — a long-haul route on the road, a long-haul route from Waterloo — most 511-mile work runs ship-in via freight, with field service for major jobs by arrangement. We work with Kearney shops doing supply-chain machining for telecommunications and retail, plus in-house tooling work for Good Samaritan Hospital (1,000+) and University of Nebraska at Kearney. Three lines of work for these shops: CNC machine repair, spindle rebuilds and grinding, and replacement way-cover manufacturing. We diagnose on-site where the work warrants it; the rebuild bench is in Waterloo.
