🏭 About Kalman Manufacturing

Kalman Manufacturing is a family-owned precision manufacturer located in Morgan Hill, California, serving customers throughout Silicon Valley and beyond.

With more than 38 years in business, Kalman has grown into a 42,000-square-foot manufacturing operation equipped with more than 40 CNC machines. The company specializes in complex precision machining, supporting industries including medical device, aerospace, instrumentation and automotive.

For machinists, this means exposure to much more than basic production work. Kalman’s capabilities span CNC milling, turning, 4-axis and 5-axis machining, mill-turn work, prototypes and production manufacturing. The company produces everything from individual precision components to complete mechanical assemblies.

Kalman has continued to invest in modern CNC technology, multi-axis machining, automation and manufacturing processes designed to improve quality and efficiency. Its equipment lineup includes recognizable machine tool brands such as Mori Seiki, Matsuura, Brother and Haas.

Despite that investment and growth, Kalman remains a family-owned business with a professional, team-oriented shop environment.

Located in Morgan Hill, the facility also offers an easy reverse commute for CNC machinists living elsewhere in Silicon Valley.
