About Schienke
A family-owned machine tool company built on four decades of precision craftsmanship, honest service, and the belief that the best work comes from people who take pride in what they build.
Decades of Precision.
A Family Tradition.
Schienke was founded in 1987 with a simple conviction: machine tool work done right, every time, by people who genuinely care about the outcome. What began as a hands-on operation has grown into a trusted partner for manufacturers across the aerospace, automotive, and general machining industries — but we've never lost the qualities that define a family business.
For more than 40 years, we've been rebuilding CNC machine tools that others have written off, retrofitting aging platforms with modern controls, and providing the kind of responsive, personal service you simply don't get from large national companies. When you call Schienke, you talk to the people doing the work.
Our newest initiative — the proprietary Schienke 2-axis live milling head — reflects where we're headed: applying our deep manufacturing knowledge not just to other people's machines, but to developing our own precision products. It's the natural evolution of what we've always done.
"We built this company on the idea that a machine running right is a machine earning money — and our customers deserve both."
Built for the Scale of the Work
The Values Behind Every Job
Precision
We hold ourselves to exacting tolerances in everything we do — from how we measure a machine to how we communicate with customers.
Family Integrity
Family-owned since day one. Our reputation is our name — and we protect it on every job, regardless of size or complexity.
Personal Service
You talk to the people doing the work. Direct communication, honest assessments, and follow-through — every time.
American Craftsmanship
Every rebuild, every component, every product — made right here, with American-made parts and precision that reflects what this industry stands for.
