About Us

Located in Racine, Wisconsin, Hi-Standard Machine thrives from our large population of machinists who take their work very seriously. Established in 1946, we specialize in Browne & Sharpe and Swiss CNC screw machine parts. We have steadily grown our customer base from word-of-mouth, the best type of business there is. Because of our continual progress and expansion in our manufacturing practices and capabilities, we are now able to serve even more customers.

We view our customers as part of the Hi-Standard family. When you entrust us with the production of your components, we make sure you get the quality you want and deserve. When you do business with us, we strive to establish long-lasting relationships that are profitable for all parties involved.

We only use certified materials, machinery, and processes. If you're having problems with the development of a certain component, our expert machinists can help you either solve those problems or make suggestions on how to improve the parts overall.

Testimonials

"We came to Gary with some ideas and drawings of a small but precise project.  He helped us sort through them to find the best solution and move forward with the work.  What he and his shop produced exceeded my expectations.  The next time I need help with design and precision machining, I'll call Gary at Hi-Standard Machining Co."

"A&E has been conducting business with Hi-Standard since 2004. Our start-up was a test for Gary Estep and his group as A&E had just acquired a new division and was going through a learning curve with approximately 500 new part numbers. Hi-Standard came through with flying colors by accommodating our higher than normal QA standards, as well as tight delivery requirements. On numerous occasions, Gary has made positive suggestions to reduce part cost as well as improve quality. Overall, I've found them to be responsive, dependable, and they do an excellent job as a supplier."
