Machine Shop Network - Information

Your guide to machine shops located in the Midwest.

The Midwest Machine Shop Network was created by a Mechanical Designer who has worked with machine shop owners for over ten years. The experience gained through countless design projects has shown a need for an accurate list of active machine shops in the Midwest. When your mechanical design becomes ready for fabrication, the quote process can become very frustrating. You need to have a good selection of machine shops to review your design, in order to get the best price and to meet your deadline.

To help eliminate this confusing stage of mechanical design, the Midwest Machine Shop Network was created. The goal is to create a list of machine shops who are actively seeking work, and to eventually allow engineers, designers, and buyers to rate their experiences with the machine shops listed here. Other useful features will be added in the future. New qualified shops are being added daily. You can list your machine shop for free!

Why add your shop to the list? As the list grows, engineers, designers, and buyers will find your information and hopefully contact you about work. The machine trade can be very cyclical in nature, and to help get new customers, you need to get the word out that you are looking for work. You may also find this resource helpful if you routinely outsource work to other machine shops.

To qualify for listing, a machine shop only needs to be located in the Midwest, and be a provider of commercial or industrial machining services of some type. A representitive of the shop needs to fill out our submission form to be included in the list. The submission form requests only contact information about your company, and you have the option of listing your email address and company web site.

Each submission is reviewed for accuracy and then added to the list within 48 hours. If you would like to change or remove a listing, just submit the form with the correct contact name and your listing will be removed or updated. We will not share your email address if you select "No" on the form. We will only use your email to confirm that your shop has been added, removed, or revised on the list.

Elite listings are web design customers of Budget Homepage or companies that have paid a fee to be listed on the front page. The Elite listing fee is $120 annually. Prime listings appear at the top of each search result page and are $60 annually. Normal listings are free. Use this form if you are interested in obtaining an Elite or Prime listing.

The Add Machine Shop form can also be used to submit any questions you may have about this project, or click on the link to contact Budget Homepage for questions about web design services.
