The aluminum you machine
takes flight.
A world measured in 0.01 millimeters. The aluminum parts we machine reach the front lines of aerospace, space, defense and medical industries. The ability to picture "society" beyond the drawing — that is manufacturing at MATERIAL.
Three reasons to work at MATERIAL
A machine shop where you gain both a craftsman's skill and genuine pride.
Your work reaches the cutting edge of society
The parts you machine go into aircraft, rockets and medical devices. We have taken part in the Shitamachi Bobsleigh and hybrid rocket development projects. Behind the headlines, your handiwork remains.
Build a lifelong skill, even with no experience
No prior experience is required when you join. Fourteen technicians holding Grade 1 national certifications provide one-on-one guidance, and the company fully supports your path to certification.
