In 1986, Charles “Chuck” Dehney wanted to help companies who need custom items fabricated from sheet metal. That’s why he started Precise Industries out of his Lowell, Massachusetts, home garage in the small space where he once parked his car.
Chuck called his new company Precise Industries. After putting the word out about his new shop, he made and delivered his first order of 100 aluminum boxes. Pleased with the fabrication work and quick turnaround service, clients continued to bring their work to us and became a part of the family. Chuck’s first customer remains a customer to this day and continues to take their projects to Precise Industries, because they know the job will get done right, continuing an over 30-year relationship.
Under Chuck’s leadership Precise Industries grew into a precision sheet metal and machine shop that several companies use to have their custom parts manufactured. In the early days, Chuck did all the work – from answering the phone to quoting projects, from ordering materials to shipping, from salesman to fabricator. With more customers, larger orders, more machines and nine employees, the shop outgrew Chuck’s garage. So, he decided to move his business into a larger space on Rock Street in Lowell.
Precise Industries’ “Can Do” reputation for fabrication excellence and quick turnaround service fueled continued growth. In 1995 Chuck expanded the shop with the purchase of an 11,000 square foot building, which remains our current location to this day, on Lakeview Ave. in Lowell.
Today the Precise Industries team uses workflow and process programs and precision equipment to do the same thing Chuck set out to do back in 1986: create the best quality parts on the market. Now entering our fifth decade in business, we still do everything we can at Precise Industries to meet and exceed all of our customers’ standards.
