Closed down, acquired, or simply walked away from the model line — when the company behind your equipment disappears, its parts supply disappears with it. We rebuild that supply from the parts themselves.
Machine builders close. More often, they get acquired — and the buyer supports its own product line while the legacy spares catalogue quietly dies. Industry forums are full of the same story: a press, a packaging line, a lathe with decades of service left, and a support email address that bounces. The machine is orphaned, and the conventional supply chain has nothing left to offer it.
The machine itself doesn't care. Its parts are steel, bronze and aluminum with measurable geometry, and anything that was machined once can be machined again — without the company that originally drew it. That's what we do: turn the parts you have into the parts you can order.
| What you have | What we do with it |
|---|---|
| The worn or failing part | Measured on CMM, geometry restored to design intent, remanufactured |
| A broken part, in pieces | Geometry reconstructed from the fragments — see broken part reproduction |
| Photos plus one dimension | Enough to quote; we confirm geometry from the part before machining |
| An old paper drawing | Converted to CAD and manufactured — fastest, most exact route |
| The intact machine | Critical parts measured in place or during planned maintenance, before anything fails |
What you don't need: the OEM's blessing, their drawings, their part numbers, or any contact with whatever remains of the company. Our blog guide covers the search-and-salvage routes worth trying first; this page is for when you're past that.
Shafts, gears, sprockets and couplings — the parts that wear first and kill the machine when gone.
Bushings, liners, guide rails, rollers — consumed on schedule, needed forever.
Proprietary connectors and adapters no catalogue ever carried. See adapters & fittings.
Bearing housings, seal carriers and covers machined from billet to replace lost castings.
The motion parts of older automatic machines — packaging, textile, printing.
Impellers, sleeves, seats and stems for fluid equipment whose maker is gone. See pump parts.
Don't reproduce standard parts. Bearings, seals, belts and sensors on your orphaned machine are usually commercial items with live supply chains — they just need identifying. We tell you when a part is standard and point you to the equivalent instead of quoting to machine it. You pay for custom manufacturing only where it's actually needed.
Start with what you physically have: the failing part, or the machine it sits in. We don't need the maker, their drawings or their part numbers — we measure your part, rebuild the CAD and manufacture it new. Photos with one known dimension are enough for a first quote within 24 hours.
Yes — acquisition-orphaned machines are one of the most common cases we see. The new owner supports their own product line and quietly ends the legacy catalogue. The reproduction process is identical: send the part, approve the rebuilt drawing, receive new stock.
Machined and fabricated parts — shafts, gears, bushings, housings, brackets, rollers, fittings — yes. Standard commercial items (bearings, seals, motors, sensors) shouldn't be reproduced; we help identify their standard equivalents instead, which are usually still purchasable.
If the maker is already gone, yes — that's the cheapest moment. The part can be measured unworn, there's no downtime pressure, and a small spares batch costs far less per piece than an emergency one-off later. Many customers build a shelf of critical spares this way.
