The Mission

At Overton Industries, we fuse advanced engineering with craftsmanship to deliver precision tooling, custom machines, and automation to the automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors.

Imagine Yourself

Meeting with stakeholders to review prints and specs. Sketching multiple concepts for a tube-forming solution. Building out a clean, detailed 3D model—then translating it into component, assembly, and process drawings. You create the BOM, select materials and components, and integrate hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, and electro‑mechanical devices. You define test methods, verify builds, document everything from setup sheets to dimensional reports, and train technicians on operation. Along the way, you support the shop floor, tackle troubleshooting, uphold regulatory and industry requirements, and keep projects on track with teams and customers.
