The addition builds on Precinmac's expertise in precision machining, complex fabrication, assembly, and value-added manufacturing services, while expanding capacity to support growing customer demands.
As part of the transaction, Precinmac adds specialized coating and finishing capabilities through Advance's New England Custom Coaters, Inc. ("NECCI") business, creating additional opportunities to streamline manufacturing workflows and provide customers with more integrated solutions.
"Advance has always been defined by the people who work here, the customers we serve, and the community that has supported us throughout our history," said the Amanti Family, founders of Advance Mfg.
