♨️ MultiSource Manufacturing

Today's aerospace and medical device sectors need partners who bring both technical expertise and problem-solving capabilities, beyond simply cutting metal.

MultiSource Manufacturing has established itself in precision machining since 1998, growing through acquisitions to four facilities across Minnesota and Colorado. The ISO and AS certified company maintains NIST 800-171, DFARS, and ITAR compliance while serving demanding industries with its 300-person team.

Under CEO Matt Galuska and Business Development Manager Gabe Fleck, the company focuses on comprehensive client partnerships from design through production. They provide engineering support and manufacturability guidance for runs ranging from 100 to 100,000 parts annually.

MultiSource balances traditional machining expertise with cutting-edge technology adoption, embracing automation while maintaining collaborative engineering capabilities that serve aerospace, defense, and medical device customers nationwide.

Upshot: "We are trying really hard to be a customer's 'go to' when they have hard manufacturing problems to solve. If we can become that, the growth will happen."
