There is machining and then there is precision CNC machining. Gent Machine is an ISO 9001:2015 – ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001-2015 and IAFT 16949:2016 certified producer of screw machine parts. Precision parts is what we do. The company has experienced employees handle all facets of precision machining in our Acme, Davenport, and Citizen CNC departments from prints to machine set-up to production and to quality. All the steps from idea to finished product take patience, persistence, and skill, to urge screw machines, mills, and our Citizen CNC machines to run smoothly and create parts that meet prints and quality specifications. With decades of experience, Gent Machine is laser focused on what distinguishes the company from its competitors in the machining industry.
1. Machining with White Glove Service
While an oxymoron with the thoughts of grease of a machine shop, this attribute sets Gent Machine apart. Fast and responsive communication with real people, from owners to the office staff, ensure customer information is not only heard timely, but acted upon quickly and efficiently. As suppliers to the automotive and aerospace industries, as well as the United States military, clear communication is essential and responsiveness is key.
2. Clean Factory
When Gent Machine made the decision to relocate to its new location, not one detail was spared. Nothing except an organized, state of the art facility is acceptable to serve the needs of Gent’s customers and employees. Rows of Davenport and Acme machines inhabit one third of the shop, while Swiss CNC and Hydromats take up another third of the shop. The floor scrubber is in almost constant use, ensuring floors are clean and safe to walk upon as machines hum. Customers and visitors arrive expecting to see grease and filth. Instead, visitors walk into a bright and open work area. All employees are expected to clean their areas before leaving for the day. Machinists are expected to mop their areas, and a clean shop is the responsibility of all employees.
3. Wealth of Machining Experience
The vision of the old guy back in the tool room with the ability to create any part for absolutely any need, blindfolded, is not far from the truth. Gent is lucky to have several seasoned employees. We have a competitive advantage having the expertise and problem-solving skills of experienced Davenport, Acme, and CNC employees on our roster alongside our younger employees. We continue to attract highly skilled individuals to meet the requirements of our customers’ projects. Gent has machinists with high levels of experience and who love getting their hands dirty – literally. We are fortunate that our employees’ talents and experience further our mission to produce high volume precision parts using our innovation and teamwork for partners who demand superior quality, machining expertise, and on time delivery. Machining is an industry where experience is highly prized and rewarded. Gent is proud of its family tradition of precision excellence and focuses on its competitive differentiators. A state of the art facility with knowledgeable and experienced employees, and a
commitment to keep clear lines of communication open within all facets of customers’ experience will continue to drive success for decades to come.
