When it comes to the largest machine shops in the USA, it’s not necessarily about size; it’s about production. The most productive shops tend to have a large collection of machines and extensive operation areas in vast warehouses.
Avanti Engineering, Inc. fits the bill for both definitions of “largest” machine shops in the USA. Avanti not only has a very large facility but can also produce millions of parts for a single order. In fact, Avanti Engineering is the #1 Screw Machine Products Manufacturer in the USA, specializing in high volume precision turned parts.
Production Capabilities
What really makes Avanti Engineering one of the largest machine shops in the USA is its production capabilities. Part orders start at 1,000 and can go up to 20 million parts. Very few machine shops can produce 7-digit parts orders, let alone 8-digits!
With top-quality CNC machines, quality does not suffer with quantity. Avanti produces high volume precision turned parts with minimal variations and well within acceptable limits. Due to its high volume machining capacity, customers can also expect competitive pricing.

About Avanti Engineering
Avanti Engineering didn’t start as one of the largest machine shops in the USA. Founder and CEO Joseph J. Bratta started the company in a small garage in 1972. Now, his son, Rocco Bratta, is the President of the 55,000 square-foot facility.
The family-owned business is located in the Chicago area and serves customers nationwide.
