Oftentimes, manufacturers assume they need to switch suppliers as production volumes increase. Many machine shops that excel at prototypes may not have the equipment or capacity to support larger orders, while suppliers focused on high-volume production may not be interested in lower volumes of work. 

We operate differently at Sirois Tool. While we’ve been known for producing highly complex parts in quantities as low as one to 10 pieces, we’re continuing to invest in new equipment and capabilities that allow us to support growing production programs without losing the precision our customers expect from us. 

Sirois Tool Supports Customers as Their Production Grows 

Many of our customers begin with a prototype or a small production run while a product is still being validated. Then, as demand increases, they would prefer to continue working with the same manufacturing partner that already understands the part. That’s exactly what we’ve been preparing for. 

For years, Sirois Tool has supported customers through blanket orders with scheduled releases, allowing them to purchase larger quantities while receiving shipments only when needed. This approach helps customers maintain inventory flexibility while allowing us to manufacture parts more efficiently. 

Today, we’re expanding those capabilities even further, increasingly supporting low- to medium-volume production measured in the hundreds of pieces, without sacrificing the precision our customers expect. 

Advanced Equipment Expands Our Capabilities 

Sirois Tool continues investing in advanced manufacturing technologies, including: 

• 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling
• Turning, including turn-mill
• EDM and wire EDM

In-House Finishing and Inspection Services 

Instead of outsourcing these processes, Sirois Tool performs many critical secondary operations under one roof. These include:

• Cylindrical grinding 
• Surface grinding 
• Honing
• Laser marking 
• Visual and CMM (coordinate measuring machine) inspection 

Keeping these capabilities in-house provides greater control over quality and scheduling and helps customers simplify their supply chains. 

Sirois Tool Invests in the Future Alongside Our Customers 

Our growth strategy is centered around making capital investments that suit our customers’ rising and evolving demands. This might entail increasing production capacity or adding equipment capable of machining tighter tolerances and more complex geometries. 

That customer-centric mindset supports the work we do for our customers today, but it also prepares us for future partnerships. We are able to grow alongside our customers and welcome new opportunities as manufacturers continue to develop increasingly advanced products. 

A Partner for Complex, High-Mix Production 

Sirois Tool excels at supporting highly complex parts across changing production volumes. Our combination of advanced precision machining services and in-house finishing and inspection capabilities allows us to support customers in low- and medium-volume production, all while maintaining the precision and responsiveness required for our customers’ most demanding applications.
