Going with experience gives you a quality advantage. We've been machining component parts for a variety of Customers and Industries for 62 years.

Let us put this experience to work for you.

A-1 Production provides a variety of machining services including, turning of steels and alloys. We manufacture hardened and ground bushings, fittings, adaptors, and pins to print specifications provided by our customers. We are versatile enough to make large volumes or small runs. If it's round, square or hex we can turn it, drill it, mill it, thread it, and/or bore it.

At A-1 Production
Our core competency comes from years of manufacturing hardened and ground steel bushings straight, with shoulders, straight grooves, spiral grooves, and cross holes that are drilled and tapped. We also machine fittings, adapters, pins and spacers from steel, stainless steel, carbon alloys, bronze, brass, aluminum and monel.

We can machine a 20 - 50 piece order on a spot buy as well as the 200,000 plus pieces required for your annual usage. A-1 works with blanket orders, shipping the parts to schedule which improves the pricing for the parts. In addition to turning, boring, threading, tapping and milling we provide OD and ID grinding services, special packaging, and light assembly services.

Established in 1949
A-1 Production has become a Leader in Custom Machining through experience by machining various materials and components for 62 years and continuing to grow and change with the world around us. The company was originally founded by a farmer with the equipment to do machining and fabrication, the work to do and in need of capital to get started. Even back in 1949 Doctors were looking for investments in start up companies and a certain Lawyer who knew a particular Doctor were able to tie it all together and the three of them started A-1 Production Inc. out on a rural road to the north of Kendallville Indiana. And so to this day we remain out on a rural road to the north of Kendallville but the ownership has changed through the years along with the equipment and the abilities to machine.

 
A-1 is the small business with big abilities
This is because the people who work here have been machining parts for many years. Many of the employees have been here 20 years and more, refining their machining skills as we update equipment and practices. As we add new employees they are taught the ropes with an emphasis on quality and efficiency in all the work that they do. We have developed a culture where the customer is always first with us and we will go the extra mile to ensure the parts they receive are of the quality they are looking for.
