A vertically integrated machine shop controls multiple stages of the production process in-house, from raw material procurement and design/engineering to machining, finishing, assembly, and distribution. This integration allows for faster turnaround times, tighter quality control, and greater customization and responsiveness.

Choosing a vertically integrated machine shop offers several benefits: improved quality control, faster lead times, long-term cost savings, better protection of proprietary designs, and greater flexibility for custom or complex parts.
