High Volume Turning Specialists
One of North America’s Largest Precision Turning Operations. Built for volume and precision.
Since 1954, Gates Albert has produced high-volume precision turned parts in Rochester, NY USA. With nearly 100 Davenport machines in operation, including the latest CNC Hybrid technology, Gates Albert is a trusted supplier for the most demanding precision turning applications.
Who We Are
Not a general machine shop. A high-volume turning specialist.
Gates Albert has developed deep specialization in Davenport multi-spindle precision turning — optimizing processes, reducing secondary operations, and consistently producing complex turned components at scale. On a Davenport machine, machining operations happen simultaneously across five spindles in one continuous automated process, yielding part throughput in seconds, or less.
As part of Brinkman International Group — the family behind Davenport Machine and CJWinter — Gates Albert pairs focused precision turning expertise with the resources, technical depth, and stability of a larger manufacturing organization.
