About Santucci Process Development

Santucci Process Development is a small, precision-focused machine shop located in Southwest Pennsylvania, specializing in custom fixtures, tooling, and short-run machined components. For more than 35 years, the shop has supported customers who need complex parts, fast problem-solving, and hands-on manufacturing expertise — not production-line machining.

The shop excels in design-to-manufacture work, often starting with a concept or print and carrying it through machining, forming, assembly, or redesign. Work is typically non-repetitive, technically challenging, and requires machinists who enjoy thinking through setups, tooling, and process improvements.

This is a shop built on craftsmanship, versatility, and trust, with a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and practical engineering solutions.
