About North State Precision Manufacturing
CNC machining for industrial equipment OEMs.
Our story
How North State Precision Manufacturing got here
Walt Halvorsen opened North State in 1962 with one Bridgeport mill and a phone on his desk. Today his granddaughter Elena runs a 38,000 sq-ft shop with 14 CNC machines and 47 people — same founder's creed. What set North State Precision Manufacturing apart from the start was a refusal to treat the basics as afterthoughts — doing the careful, unglamorous work that earns trust, and treating every client the way the founders wished they had been treated. 62 years and more than 850 clients later, that conviction still runs North State Precision Manufacturing. The team has grown, the work across Cleveland has too, but the promise is unchanged.
