These investments strengthen Reader Precision’s ability to deliver speed, precision, and versatility across a wide range of part specifications and production requirements:

- (4) Tsugami BW209Z | Swiss CNC Machines
- (2) Brother SPEEDIO R450Xd1 | Vertical Mills
- (1) Brother SPEEDIO S700Xd1 | Vertical Mill

“Our latest equipment additions are another critical step in fortifying our fleet and scaling alongside our clients’ increasing demands in both quantity and complexity,” said Michael P. Reader, President of Reader Precision. “But more than just acquiring new equipment, we’re strategically standardizing on highly capable, efficient platforms that give us the flexibility to meet evolving needs and set ourselves—and our clients—up for long-term success. It’s about investing in the right infrastructure and talent that drives performance across the board.”
Backed by an award-winning engineering and production team, the company’s growing capabilities now deliver even tighter tolerances, faster cycle times, and increased throughput to meet the strictest customer specifications without compromising lead times.
“These additions significantly elevate our precision machining playbook,” said Steve Dues, Vice President of Engineering at Reader Precision. “The new equipment gives us the flexibility to support complex parts with tighter tolerances, advanced materials, and evolving client specs and program demands, all while streamlining setups and optimizing throughput. This level of capability enables our teams to collaborate earlier, move faster, and deliver the precision and value our clients can expect at every stage.”
These investments is part of a broader, phased expansion of technology and equipment as Reader Precision transitions into its newly acquired and renovated 130,000-square-foot manufacturing headquarters in Elkhorn, WI. The consolidation of operations under one roof has aided in streamlined processes, elevation of client services and delivery standards, and fostered a more unified and collaborative culture across all teams and departments.
