Expanding What’s Possible in Precision Manufacturing
At JR Machine, we’ve always believed in looking forward, investing in technology, people, and processes that empower our customers to build what’s next.
That commitment to progress reached a new level with the addition of ETW Precision Machining, LLC, a nationally recognized leader in 5-axis CNC machining and custom tooling. Together, we’re shaping a new era of precision manufacturing, one defined by innovation, collaboration, and results.
Today, our customers benefit from more advanced capabilities, faster turnaround times, and deeper engineering support than ever before. This expansion isn’t just about growth; it’s about elevating what’s possible for the industries we serve.
A Strategic Move to Strengthen Our Customers’ Supply Chains
JR Machine and ETW are now united under Schneider Resources Holding (SRH), a partnership designed to strengthen and scale Wisconsin’s leadership in precision manufacturing.
ETW continues to operate under its own name in Waukesha, Wisconsin, with its experienced team and leadership fully in place. By combining JR’s automation-driven production model with ETW’s 5-axis and grinding expertise, we’re delivering even greater value to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across aerospace, space exploration, defense, oil & gas, and high-performance industrial markets.
This strategic alignment allows both companies to focus on what we do best: producing complex, high-precision components with reliability, repeatability, and responsive engineering support.
A Legacy of Precision and Innovation
With more than 80 years of combined experience, JR Machine and ETW share a long-standing commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
- Founded in 1945, ETW evolved from a regional toolmaker into a national powerhouse in 5-axis machining and custom tooling. Their dedication to solving complex challenges for the space and defense sectors mirrors JR’s own mission to push the boundaries of what precision manufacturing can achieve.
- Since 1992, JR Machine has been known for delivering complex parts, streamlined®, leveraging automation, process control, and advanced materials expertise to produce precision components for the world’s most demanding industries.
Now, as part of the same family, JR Machine and ETW are combining those strengths to redefine what precision machining means in America.
What This Expansion Means for Our Customers
By joining forces, we’ve expanded our depth, agility, and technology stack, helping customers solve tougher challenges, streamline supply chains, and accelerate production.
Advanced 5-Axis Machining
ETW’s lineup of DMG MORI 5-axis mill/turn centers adds world-class capability for machining highly complex geometries with tighter tolerances and fewer setups. This technology enables more efficient production of aerospace housings, hydraulic components, and other intricate parts, delivering accuracy down to 8 microns.
Custom Tooling & Design
ETW’s expertise in custom tooling design enhances JR’s ability to offer turnkey solutions. Their engineers collaborate directly with customers to design cutting tools that improve performance, reduce cycle times, and extend tool life. This capability helps optimize production and increase efficiency across every project.
Enhanced Engineering and DFM Support
Both teams share a commitment to Design for Manufacturability (DFM). ETW’s additional engineering depth allows us to take a more collaborative approach to part design—reducing production risks, improving throughput, and enabling faster time-to-market for high-precision components.
CNC Grinding and Tight-Tolerance Machining
ETW’s Studer CNC grinding technology provides accuracy and surface finishes measured in microns, ideal for mission-critical components in aerospace, medical, and fluid power applications. This capability complements JR’s precision machining portfolio, giving customers a single source for complete manufacturing solutions.
Machining of Exotic and Superalloy Materials
ETW’s background in machining titanium, Inconel, and other nickel-based alloys expands JR’s materials expertise. Together, we now offer unmatched experience in superalloy machining for parts that must endure extreme heat, stress, and environmental conditions, perfect for space, defense, and energy systems.
Elevated Quality and Rapid Turnaround
With shared certifications in ISO 9001:2015 and ITAR, and the use of advanced inspection systems like Hexagon CMM and HighQA Inspection Manager, JR Machine and ETW ensure consistent, verifiable quality. Our combined teams are also known for responsiveness, offering fast lead times without compromising precision.
Investment in the Future
To further support customer demand, Schneider Resources Holding and JR Machine have already invested in ETW’s continued growth with the installation of a DMG MORI DMU 65 (FD) 5-axis milling center, a $1 million capital investment.
This technology strengthens our production capacity and reinforces our long-term strategy: to provide customers with cutting-edge machining, design, and inspection solutions that scale with their needs.
By integrating ETW’s digital infrastructure, including Siemens NX, SolidWorks PDM, and ICAM simulation, into JR’s automated workflows, we’re taking data-driven manufacturing to the next level. Customers gain more transparency, consistency, and performance across every project.
A Shared Vision for Growth and Innovation
Our partnership with ETW represents more than an acquisition; it’s a commitment to continuous improvement and American manufacturing excellence.
Together, we are:
- Expanding engineering and production capacity to serve high-growth industries.
- Investing in state-of-the-art automation and machine tools.
- Developing a team culture focused on collaboration, precision, and problem-solving.
With this foundation, JR Machine and ETW are equipped to meet evolving customer demands and deliver solutions that define the future of precision manufacturing.
