Modern Machine Shop announces the 2026 Top Shops Honorees, an accomplished group of machining businesses recognized for excellence across core areas of shop performance. Selected from participants in the annual Top Shops Benchmarking Survey, this year’s honorees exemplify innovation, leadership and operational excellence in the machining industry.
Each year, one standout shop is chosen in each of the survey’s four key categories: Machining Technology, Shopfloor Practices, Business Strategies and Human Resources. Honorees are selected and vetted by the editorial team at Modern Machine Shop and will be profiled in the upcoming MMS issue.
The 2026 Top Shops Honorees are:
-
Machining Technology: HEI Precision
-
Shopfloor Practices: Precision Profiles LLC
-
Human Resources: Astro Machine Works
-
Business Strategies: Hill Manufacturing & Fabrication
Each of these shops is receiving Top Shops Honors for the first time, marking a significant milestone in their continued growth and excellence.
The honorees will be formally recognized during the Top Shops Conference taking place in Cleveland, Ohio at the Huntington Convention Center on October 6-7, 2026. As part of the program, honorees will also participate in a panel discussion where they’ll share insights on how they’ve evolved their operations and achieved sustained business success.
This year, the Top Shops Conference brings together Modern Machine Shop and Products Finishing, combining both brands’ Top Shops benchmarking programs into a single, in-person event.
