Overview
American Precision Industries provides precision CNC machining and custom metal fabrication, delivering turnkey manufacturing from prototyping and design assistance to production and finishing. It uses CNC turning and milling (including multi-axis and Swiss-style turning), laser and water jet cutting, sheet metal work, finishing, assembly, and CAD/CAM design to produce tight-tolerance parts from metals and plastics. The company differentiates itself with family ownership, broad in-house capabilities, and formal quality systems (AS9100, ISO9001, ITAR) to serve highly regulated sectors. Its goal is to supply reliable, scalable, high-precision manufacturing and expand capacity for complex programs across multiple industries.

What believers are saying
- November 2026 openings for CNC programmers and 5-axis machinists show active demand.
- API's 2026 job postings and benefit package suggest it still attracts skilled machinists.
- ISO 13485 and ITAR registration widen access to regulated medical and defense contracts.
What critics are saying
- Thin public disclosure hides margins, backlog, and customer concentration; 2027 hiring freeze would signal stress.
- Paylocity showed 12 openings through November 5, 2026, risking wage pressure and slower throughput.
- Five-axis expansion raises fixed costs; a semiconductor downturn would leave expensive capacity underutilized.
What makes American Precision Industries unique
- AS9100-certified since 2021, API serves aerospace, defense, and medical buyers demanding traceability.
- April 6, 2025 expansion added a 33,000-square-foot facility and DMG MORI 5-axis capacity.
- API pairs CNC, sheet metal, finishing, and assembly into one Hillsboro turnkey shop.
