Hofacker Precision Machining was established in 1997 by Fred Hofacker as a one man shop in a building in his backyard. In 1999, the company was registered with the State of Ohio as a Limited Liability Company and was renamed Hofacker Precision Machining, LLC. In 2012, Fred Hofacker decided to retire and sold the business to an employee, Jerry Hinshaw. Hinshaw has industry experience dating back to 1987. He started in machining and moved into engineering shortly thereafter. The company model remains unchanged. We do precision machining on CNC Mills and CNC Lathes, working in stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and exotics. Our motto is: Uncompromising quality in everything we do.
