The discipline behind these parts
now guides our sourcing.

MAT no longer machines parts in-house. We sold the facility in 2023. But the operator-level knowledge built across these projects is what now drives every supplier we qualify, every drawing we review, and every quote we negotiate on a client's behalf.
