From a small machining shop to a global engineering partner. Discover the journey that shaped MetalCore Manufacturing into an industry leader.
Founded by brothers Thomas and Richard Vance in a 10,000 sq ft Detroit workshop, MetalCore started with three CNC mills and a vision to redefine precision manufacturing.
Secured a landmark contract with a Tier-1 aerospace manufacturer, prompting our first major facility expansion and investment in 5-axis machining centers.
Achieved dual international certifications, formalizing our quality management systems and opening doors to medical and defense sector partnerships.
Launched our Industry 4.0 initiative, integrating IoT sensors, AI-driven quality control, and real-time production dashboards across all manufacturing floors.
Reached carbon-neutral production status through renewable energy integration, closed-loop coolant systems, and zero-waste machining programs.
Opened engineering hubs in Munich and Singapore, bringing local expertise to global clients while maintaining our Detroit headquarters as our innovation core.
Our history isn't just marked by dates and expansions—it's defined by the unwavering values that guide every cut, weld, and inspection.
Tolerance isn't just a specification; it's our culture. We engineer within microns because excellence is non-negotiable.
We embed our engineers into your design process early, ensuring manufacturability, cost-efficiency, and faster time-to-market.
From legacy CNC to AI-assisted machining, we invest relentlessly in technology that pushes manufacturing boundaries.
MetalCore's leadership team brings over 80 years of combined manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain expertise. Our executive board maintains a hands-on approach, regularly touring production floors and collaborating directly with client engineering teams.
We believe that sustainable growth comes from investing in people, automation, and ethical sourcing. Every strategic decision we make is filtered through a single question: does this make us better partners for our clients?
