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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is accessing the database free? What's the catch?

The database is completely free and open-source. Search by location, company size, and primary capabilities. There's no catch—Doss is operations software built for manufacturing. We are a single source of truth from procurement to production, it only helps us to help our customers find the right supply partners.

Can I access contact information to reach out to shops directly?

Yes, if it is available. If it is available, find email address(es), phone number(s) and website for each entry. No need for intermediaries, direct communication is always best.

How detailed are the shop descriptions and capabilities?

It varies. Some shops provide extremely comprehensive information about their capabilities, certifications, services, and specializations, while others are a bit more concise.

Can I find specialized shops for unique requirements?

Absolutely. The database includes everything from single-employee specialty shops to larger operations that have been around for 100+ years. You can filter by size, location and capabilities to find the right sourcing partner for your project.
