Our History

Six decades of supply-chain trust.

Jarvis Manufacturing opened its doors in San Jose in 1959. What started as a Bay Area job shop grew through aerospace booms, defense cycles, and a generation of medical device OEMs into a full-service precision machining partner. Customer relationships stretching 15 to 30 years are not unusual here. They are the norm.

The Facility

One floor. The full spectrum.

Our modern San Jose facility handles aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and demanding nickel superalloys under one roof. Multi-pallet manufacturing cells run unattended, 24/7 when the program calls for it, across both low-volume prototype runs and high-quantity production. If it can be machined, we have machined it.
