U.S. Defense Supply Chains
Serving Those Who Serve: CES Machine’s Role in U.S. Defense Supply Chains
This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and commitment allow us to enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted and at CES Machine Products, we recognize that supporting those who serve goes beyond remembrance. It’s a responsibility we carry every day through the work we do.
As a precision CNC Swiss screw machining company based in Reno, Nevada, CES Machine is proud to play a small but meaningful role in strengthening the U.S. defense supply chain. Our mission-critical components are used in a range of applications, including aerospace, firearms, communications systems, and tactical equipment supporting the performance, safety, and reliability of the tools our armed forces rely on.
Manufacturing with Purpose
We understand that in defense manufacturing, precision isn’t optional, it’s essential. The parts we produce may be small in size, but they are vital in performance. Whether it’s a titanium fastener for a combat aircraft or a stainless-steel component for a weapon system, every feature must meet exacting tolerances to ensure proper function in high-stress environments.
CES Machine is AS9100 and ISO 13485 certified, ITAR registered, and committed to producing parts that meet the highest standards for quality, consistency, and compliance. We work closely with our defense customers to ensure each order supports end-use requirements, with full documentation and traceability throughout the process.
Domestic Manufacturing for National Security
In today’s global manufacturing environment, many companies are rethinking the risks of relying on offshore suppliers especially when it comes to national security. With new tariffs, supply chain instability, and geopolitical uncertainty, the need for resilient, U.S.-based manufacturing partners has never been greater.
That’s where CES Machine comes in.
By keeping production domestic, we help our defense partners avoid international delays, meet DFARS compliance requirements, and maintain tighter control over lead times and quality. We offer reliable, on-time delivery of high-complexity machined parts with a focus on long-term relationships, not one-off transactions.
Supporting the Defense Industry Beyond the Shop Floor
At CES Machine, we also understand the broader impact of our work. Supporting the defense industry means more than just making parts, it means contributing to a mission. Many of our customers have direct connections to the armed forces, and we treat every component we produce with the care and seriousness it deserves.
We’re also proud to support a team that shares these values. Our employees take pride in the knowledge that their craftsmanship contributes to something bigger than themselves. Whether it’s reducing weight on a part used in flight or helping a customer meet a tight deadline for a government order, the work we do matters and our team knows it.
A Time to Reflect and Recommit
This Memorial Day, as we honor the heroes who gave their lives in defense of our country, we also reflect on the importance of what we build and why it matters. At CES Machine, we recommit to our mission: to serve those who serve by delivering reliable, high-precision components that meet the critical demands of the U.S. defense industry.
To our customers, partners, veterans, and all those who serve, we thank you. Your trust in us is not taken lightly, and we are proud to stand behind the work that supports your mission.
