About Us
Since 1975, Production Saw and Machine has delivered reliable manufacturing support as a trusted supplier to OEMs and Tier 1 companies in industries including automotive, agriculture, defense, heavy equipment, industrial, and recreational. We specialize in three core, integrated services: production saw cutting, low-volume, and high-volume precision CNC machining & turning.
As an ISO 9001:2015 certified and performance-driven company, we focus on quality, consistency, and efficiency. Each year, we ship more than 16 million cut or machined parts from our 150,000-square-foot facility. Our parts support the automotive, industrial, agricultural, and heavy truck sectors across North America.
Our Story: A Family-Owned Legacy Since 1975
Production Saw and Machine was founded in 1975 by Jim Vancalbergh in Jackson, Michigan with a vision to deliver dependable machining and manufacturing support to the region’s growing industrial base. What started as a small, hardworking operation focused on production saw cutting has since evolved into a fully integrated manufacturing partner—offering CNC machining, turning, and cut-to-length sawing services for high- and low-volume needs.
From day one, the company has remained proudly family owned and operated. Today, Jim’s son Jeff Vancalbergh serves as President, and his brother Greg leads as Executive Vice President. Their shared commitment to operational excellence, employee development, and customer service has guided the company’s steady growth. Now into the third generation, Jeff’s sons hold key leadership positions, working alongside a trusted team of cousins, uncles, and longtime family friends.
This unique structure reinforces our family-first culture, where relationships, responsibility, and respect drive daily decision-making. We treat customers and employees alike as long-term partners—not transactions—because we believe that’s the foundation for lasting success.
Over the decades, Production Saw and Machine has grown from a small shop into a 156,000-square-foot facility in Clarklake, Michigan, now shipping over 16 million cut and machined parts annually. While our capabilities have expanded, our values remain the same: precision, dependability, and hard work rooted in family tradition.
