Cignys

CIGNYS is hardly a newcomer to precision manufacturing. Within a decade of our founding in 1919, we introduced a myriad of products which are still in production today. Products such as hoist trolleys, bridge crane kits and casters.

CIGNYS has a demonstrated program of ongoing re-investment in machine tool technology, enterprise software and apprenticeship training. As a proponent of Lean, CIGNYS has routine protocols to determine best practices designed to drive waste out of our system.

Our target customer is the OEM. We don't go around the original equipment manufacturer in order to sell to the end user (integrity is key to our business model). Over the years we have constantly reinvested in our business, bringing our debt to equity ratio to world-class status. The average age of our critical machines can be counted on one hand. We also invest in people talent through state-sponsored apprenticeship programs.

Business partnership is central to our management philosophy. We are focused on your needs, not our own proprietary product repertoire. Cost effective alternatives are the building blocks of our engineering prowess. Coupled with an unrelenting adherence to high quality and production standards, our products are manufactured on-site, allowing us to control most, if not all, critical operations. From the engineering conception to the final shipment, we are able to direct every detail, ensuring product quality and timely delivery.

By strict definition, CIGNYS is a job shop, but with over 250,000 square feet of floor space, tens of millions of dollars in materials, technology and machinery, the expertise of craftsmen and manufacturing pros to build a wide variety of products, we are more of a manufacturer's manufacturer. As you browse our site, you'll see evidence of our manufacturing capabilities and our dedication to the design and manufacture of components for OEMs, our core competency.

You will also read about "Profiles" that talk to our manufacturing success, but more importantly they talk to the value that our entire team brings to each and every project that comes through our doors.

Our roots originated with Saginaw Products Corporation, Shear Tool, Shields Manufacturing, Saginaw Caster & Wheel, Ft. Wayne Truck Parts, and Aer-Bea. All highly respected and highly qualified manufacturers. We have taken all of that knowledge base and brought it under the CIGNYS roof.

We are ISO 9001:2000 Registered: AS9100 Registered and ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) Registered and have a unique blend of talented people working from three state-of-the-art facilities located in and around Saginaw, Michigan.

We cut our teeth on precision machining, conveyor components, tooling, prototype stamping and ground support equipment such as jacks, axles, mobilizers, trailers, and running gear. As you can imagine, as experts in metalworking we've been known to tackle any project within our manufacturing capability.

We are confident that we can take on the challenges of designing and manufacturing your engineered product.
