About

Greg Smiltneek founded Resource Machining & Welding in 1988 after learning mills and lathes from his father beginning at age 14 in 1971.

From the company's Pewaukee headquarters he built a contract manufacturer known for horizontal CNC precision work in stainless and hard-to-machine alloys such as Hastelloy C-276, plus fabrication, welding, robotic welding, engineering, reverse engineering and custom one-off parts.

Resource positions itself as a partner that develops and operates custom production equipment for proprietary products—emphasizing on-time delivery, cost containment and expanding capabilities year over year for customers that need more than a job-shop quote. The firm's public footprint is strongest in first-party history and industrial directories rather than consumer media, which is typical for Upper Midwest precision shops.

Founder-operator control, a clear Pewaukee plant and a multi-decade stainless and CNC specialty make Smiltneek a machining principal distinct from the larger OEMs and distributors already on the local slate. The shop’s public record is quieter than consumer brands, but the 1988 founding and continuous ownership are unambiguous.
