CNC Machine Shop

Vista Industrial Products, Inc. has a 5,354 square foot in-house machine shop with a wide range of machining equipment with a variety of functions. We have been able to maintain growth within our machine shop largely due to the fact that many companies are not going overseas for their machined parts. Since CNC machining is not labor intensive like sheet metal parts, it wouldn’t be beneficial to take it overseas where the labor costs are cheap.  As a result, we have a large collection of machines that range from 3 and 4 axis with part capacity up to 81”x41”x32,” CNC 3D surfacing, manual mills, CNC lathes, manual lathes, and not to mention a complete quality assurance department with a CMM.
