Patriot Machine, a multi-faceted CAD/CAM manufacturing company, recently celebrated the opening of their new 80,000 square foot headquarters and manufacturing facility with an open house for employee families and public office holders.

The St. Charles city-based, female-owned company provides a multitude of CAD/CAM services specializing in machining of complex five-axis monolithic or unitized parts and system integration for a number of industries throughout the nation. Patriot Machine is an ISO9001:2000 and AS9100 Rev. A
certified company and is listed by The Boeing Corporation as a Silver-Level Preferred Supplier.

"This is a clear example of successful entrepreneurship in action," stated EDC President Greg Prestemon. "Here is a company that started in the garage of the family's house in April of 1991 and has grown to one of the most technologically advanced manufacturing suppliers in the nation."

Patriot Machine, which employs 45 people, moved from a leased facility to a new state-of-the-art building to prepare for the company's growing client base.
