From Garage to 22,000 Sq. Ft. Facility
Scott and Rick Taylor founded Taylor Machine in 1987 in the back of Scott’s garage, with just a manual mill and a manual lathe. They eventually expanded to take over the whole garage before moving to a larger facility in Blaine, MN in 1991.
In 2000, Taylor Machine moved into an even bigger shop, adding two Makino pallet systems to its growing roster of CNC milling and CNC turning machines.
We’ve been in our 22,000 sq. ft. facility in Circle Pines, MN since 2012, and our capabilities now include 5-axis machining and robotic-aided quality control.
For over 25 years Taylor Machine has focused on providing our customers quality precision machined parts, through innovative manufacturing processes and top level service, yet providing very competitive costs. We've built long-term relationships with many of our customers by providing the solutions that help them build better products.
