About Chouinard Manufacturing
Michigan-based manufacturing for CNC machining, contract production, wholesale products, laser engraving, and prototyping.
Who We Are
Chouinard Manufacturing provides flexible manufacturing support for businesses and individual customers, from prototypes and custom products to recurring production and wholesale orders. Our goal is to help turn ideas, drawings, and specifications into finished, repeatable products.
What We Do
-
CNC Machining
Precision routing, drilling, profiling, pocketing, and other machining operations for sheet goods, wood, plastics, and compatible materials.
-
Contract Manufacturing
Production support for businesses needing repeatable components, overflow capacity, or outsourced manufacturing operations.
-
Edgebanding
Professional edge finishing for cabinet, closet, furniture, shelving, and other compatible panel-based components.
-
Laser Engraving & Cutting
Engraving, marking, and cutting for branded products, gifts, signage, components, and repeat production.
-
Wholesale Production
Custom and repeat manufacturing for retailers, wineries, brands, gift shops, hospitality businesses, and other wholesale programs.
-
3D Printing & Prototyping
Functional prototyping, fixtures, custom components, design validation, and small-batch additive manufacturing.
Our Facility & Equipment
Our shop is equipped to support a wide range of custom and repeat production work.
Current capabilities include full-sheet CNC machining, automatic tool changing, edgebanding, laser engraving and cutting, wide-belt sanding, 3D printing, dust collection, compressed air, and material-handling equipment.
Having multiple processes under one roof allows us to reduce handling, simplify production, and keep more of a project with one manufacturing partner.

How We Work
Some customers come to us with finished drawings and production-ready files. Others come with a sample, concept, part list, or an idea that still needs development.
We can help evaluate materials, manufacturing methods, tolerances, quantities, and production requirements before moving into prototyping or full production.
For repeat work, we focus on building a process that can be reproduced consistently from batch to batch.
Why Work With Us
-
Flexible Production
Support for one-off projects, prototypes, short runs, overflow work, and recurring production.
-
Multiple Capabilities
CNC machining, edgebanding, laser work, sanding, prototyping, and other manufacturing steps can often be coordinated through one shop.
-
Repeatability
Production processes are developed with consistency in mind for customers who need the same parts or products again.
-
Custom Project Support
We can work from drawings, DXF files, CAD models, physical samples, part lists, and customer specifications.
-
Business-Focused Service
We understand the importance of lead times, communication, production schedules, and keeping customer operations moving.
-
Local Manufacturing
Michigan-based production with direct communication and the ability to work closely with customers on custom and repeat projects.
Manufacturing & Engineering Experience
Our experience extends beyond the equipment currently installed in our shop. We have hands-on experience with CAD, CNC machining, additive manufacturing, product development, and professional manufacturing systems.
That broader experience helps us evaluate projects from both a design and production perspective and choose practical manufacturing methods based on the part, material, quantity, and end us
