Company Snapshot

At Overton Industries, we engineer and build precision components and tooling for automotive, aerospace, and broader industrial manufacturers. Advanced technology and expert craftsmanship are our calling cards—and the reason customers count on us for quality.

Picture your day starting at a spotless, organized machine bay in Franklin, IN. You review the job traveler, pull up the print and CAD model, and stage tools and fixtures. You set up a CNC mill for a tight-tolerance part, verify offsets, and run the first article. Between cycles, you inspect with micrometers and calipers, document measurements, and collaborate with engineering to shave seconds off a toolpath—without sacrificing accuracy. After a successful run, you switch to a manual machine for a quick secondary op, log production data, and perform light preventive maintenance so everything stays in peak condition. Safety and quality drive every move you make.
