Years of Service

Wolverine Machine prides itself on the fact that it has been in business for over 88 years. We are also proud to have customers who help us to paint a picture of commitment, loyalty, business partnerships as well as friendships. Several companies, who are continued, active customers here at Wolverine, have been so for the better part of 20 years. While this field makes strides to take an older skilled trade and keep it new, it proves what a strong foundation and dedication can do.

So, thank you to our customers, clients and friends for helping to keep Wolverine Machine moving ahead and staying strong. We also look forward to meeting new people and extend an invitation for you to see what Wolverine Machine is all about.

"Continental Interiors was faced with the difficult task of installing Nora Sheet Rubber flooring in very intricate patterns at the University of Michigan’s new C.S. Mott Children and Women’s Hospital in Ann Arbor. The best way to accomplish this was to have them water-jet cut. Wolverine Machine stepped up to this monumental task and excelled with flying colors. The layout of the patterns were made simple with easy to follow instructions and tight seams. And do to the time constraints on the project, Wolverine Machine was more than happy to bend over backwards to get the job complete ahead of schedule."

It's All About Skill

"Alongside creative recruitment efforts, the key to developing more skilled workers in the U.S. is the use of uniform, widely-recognized and industry-driven credentials to demonstrate competency in the specific industry skills needed by employers."

There is a push right now to provide college students the access to gain those skills and certifications needed to be successful in the Manufacturing field. With backers such as NTMA, PMA, NAM and President Obama, the goal is to bring Manufacturing in the U.S. back to the forefront. By increasing the opportunities in education, the goal is for more people to become certified in the skills that will allow Manufacturing in the U.S. to move ahead with the future and the new technologies available for new products. No longer would skilled trades be a thing of the past but the goal of the future.

Think Outside of the Box

Intricate in-lay for a backyard patio, colorful pattern to brighten up a hospital floor, custom-designed backsplash for a kitchen or that one-of-a-kind part on a custom built chopper.

With the ability to cut stone, rubber, ceramic tile and steel, all of these projects are possible with the process of water jet cutting. Water jet cutting can offer up precision cuts with no heat damage or change to the intrinsic property. We can produce one part or thousands of parts with a smaller amount of waste and a faster time.

Whether you are a landscaper, contractor or build choppers, Wolverine Machine can assist you with your project. From design to finished product, this family owned business for 88 years can help you.

Not just for Metal

Did you know that Water jet cutting isn't just for metal, aluminum and stainless steel? Rubber, foam, plastics, composites, tile, marble, granite, safety and armored glass can easily be cut to exact specifications using the water jet cutting process. And because water jet cutting machines use water to mimic an actual erosion process as opposed to heat, like lasers or plasma cutters, materials maintain their original intrinsic properties and exhibit no "heat-affected" zones.

Wolverine Machine has 2 of the largest water jet cutting tables in the Midwest. From flooring to countertops to sign making, we can assist you in your next project. For questions or for more information contact us at:info@wolverinemachine.com. Or to request a quote: quotes@wolverinemachine.com
