Small Part CNC Machining & Supply Chain Specialists

Bringing advanced manufacturing to urban Philadelphia - Early 2025

Not your average job shop:

A new vision precision machining

All machine shops emphasize a commitment to price, delivery, and quality. But industry results often show that to be an empty message. At American Precision Works, we’re redefining how those obligations are fulfilled.

We’re not bound by outdated traditions. Instead, we’re fueled by a clean-slate approach to manufacturing precision components. 

Our focus is singular: delivering unsurpassed quality, lead times, and reliability through a blend of industry-leading technologies, systems, and processes—optimized from day one to meet the demanding needs of today’s market.

Let us show you how APW's business and quality systems can guarantee precise outcomes order after order.

What separates us?

Exclusively supplying small parts: it's our niche
APW's technology is dedicated to parts that fit within a 6" cube.  Our machinery is faster and more precise than competitors' general-purpose equipment. That translates to quicker lead times and lower costs for our customers. 
The latest 5-axis & mill/turn CNCs
Not only can our equipment handle jobs of high complexity, it can also tackle 3- and 4-axis parts in a single setup.  That reduces operator interaction time, supports automation, and minimizes quality risk of multiple workholdings. 
A completely paperless factory
Our first investment wasn't our machinery; it was our ERP.  The Founders hold a deeply rooted belief that the right systems will support a lean operation, enable data-driven decisions, and allow unparalleled responsiveness.
Next-level customer transparency
We have lived on both sides of the precision machining supply chain.  We understand the value of honest updates, timely insights, and open lines of communication for good news and challenges alike.
Investing in our relationships
We know it's rare for customers to buy parts only once. For customers with recurring demand, APW will use data to forecast orders and build to stock. This methodology can dramatically reduce lead times and support smaller order sizes.
Quality is a mindset, not a department
Quality managers and inspectors aren't responsible for sorting out bad parts.  We take pride in a "quality at the source" mindset, and our systems are designed such that every employee is accountable for the production of conforming product.

The Founding Team

American Precision Works has long been the vision of two friends connected through machining nearly a decade ago.  Together, they bring 30+ years of industry experience and passion for challenging the status quo. 

Both have been proud to call Philly home and strongly believe that the City offers the right ingredients of resources, talent, and energy for a world-class manufacturing operation to thrive.

Through APW, the founders are committed to introducing a new community to the manufacturing world. They aim to inspire and support others in discovering the same opportunities and career successes that have profoundly shaped their own lives.

Matthew Bruner

President

It's not an understatement to say that Matt brings lifelong experience to APW - he grew up in a family machining business where he eventually took responsibility for manufacturing systems and business development.  In the next stage of his career, Matt sold IoT and production analytics solutions.  This gave Matt a firsthand look at the operations of hundreds of precision machining businesses, which opened his eyes to the challenges and opportunities in modern manufacturing.
