Lake Fenton Robotics Team visits Wolverine Machine




 Wolverine Machine welcomed 9 students and 2 teachers from the Lake Fenton Robotics Team on Dec. 19, 2012. The main goal was to spark the interest in the students of the opportunities available in manufacturing and engineering in an industrial setting. Many of these skilled trades have been absent from high schools and colleges over the past several years. This has caused a shortage of qualified individuals to fill positions in CNC operations that are available all over the United States.

The students were shown programming using the IGEMS software and saw up close our water jet machine in action. They looked on as our quality manager and technician showcased the Zeiss Contura G2 and how it checks all points of a part for the correct measurements. They watched demonstrations of how light curtains and bump switches work, the Kiwa 510 Vertical machining center and Miyano LZ auto load lathe. Lastly they stopped off at the Acme Gridley screw machines, which is where Wolverine Machine got its start.

Manufacturing is alive and well, especially in the State of Michigan and we are looking at the next generation to keep it going. It is still a vital part in which we live but could quickly disappear unless we educate and inspire.

In recognition of Veteran's Day






 In the 11th hour, on the 11th day, in the 11th month in 1918, there was an armistice – temporary cessation between the Allied Nations and Germany during World War I. The following year, on that same day, Armistice Day was recognized. In 1926 it was declared that this would be a recurring anniversary to be commemorated every year. It was made a legal federal holiday in 1938. And in 1954, President Eisenhower signed the bill to change it from Armistice Day to Veterans Day.

For all veterans; from every branch, of all wars, throughout the years. Thank you for your dedication to ensuring our freedom. And for that, all of us here at Wolverine Machine, salute you.

Wolverine Machine is now a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business



Wolverine Machine is now a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)



A veteran of World War I, Charles O’Neill, opened the doors to Wolverine Machine Products Company in Holly, MI in May of 1923. Nearly 90 years later; Wolverine Machine once again lies in the hands of a veteran. Vietnam veteran Bruce Walker, CEO, and 3rd generation, has now registered Wolverine Machine Products Company as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). 

Throughout the years, Wolverine Machine has been widely known as a sought after manufacturer of precision machine parts and CNC machine parts for the Automotive Industry. As times change and the company has grown, those same qualities have now expanded into several other industries including: Nuclear, Architectural, Agricultural, Military, Marine, Healthcare and Recreational. And now, looking to the future, Wolverine Machine Products Company is hoping to expand even further by teaming with Tier One companies as a subcontracting SDVOSB business. 

With a proven ability to change and adapt to the job, Wolverine Machine is not afraid of new challenges. Figuring out a new process or tooling, to the need for a new machine, from drawing and design to finished product, our willingness to adapt has brought us projects such as an architectural wind veil system, flooring for several area hospitals, and water jet cutting steel plates weighing 45,000 lbs. for a nuclear facility. All the while still standing true to what got us here today and that is making quality parts for the automotive industry, whether they are screw machine parts, CNC milled, CNC turned or water jet cut parts. 

Made in the USA.     Made in Michigan.    Family owned for nearly 90 years.  Quality and commitment to our customers and their products.  

Team up with Wolverine Machine Products Company today. Be a part of a strong and respected company, with a history nearly a century long and with a future that has no boundaries. Come and visit our facility and meet our team, or have us come to you. Let’s take a look at your ideas, your projects, and see what we can do together.
