Welcome to the heart of precision engineering in Elmira, New York – where tradition and technology converge. Since 1976, our family-owned machine shop, originally founded by the visionaries Arnold and Elizabeth(Betty) Carbaugh and now helmed with equal passion by Arnold Carbaugh Jr. and his wife Ann Carbaugh, has been a beacon of excellence in manufacturing.
Our journey began over seven decades ago, rooted in the unwavering vision of delivering unparalleled craftsmanship. As we navigated through the evolving landscapes of industry and technology, our commitment to quality has remained steadfast. Today, our facility is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. From the meticulous art of manual milling and lathing to the precision and efficiency of CNC mills and lathes, our capabilities are as diverse as the needs of our clients.
At our core, we are craftsmen and innovators. Our expertise extends beyond the realms of conventional machining; we delve into the intricate processes of wire EDM, grinding, polishing, and assembling with a precision that only years of experience can bestow. This eclectic mix of techniques allows us to create parts that aren’t just components, but are testaments to our dedication to excellence.
Though we may be a small company, our reputation is anything but. The quality of our work precedes us, speaking volumes of our commitment to not just meet but exceed expectations. Our small size is our strength, allowing us to offer personalized service and attention to detail that larger companies can’t match.
