Who We Are
Lee and Paulding Inc.
"Lee and Paulding was founded with a laser focus on one goal: Customer service. I believe our fast growth is attributable in large part to our laser focus, because we enthusiastically take care of our customers.
We're not just making parts, we're providing a manufacturing service from start to finish.
A plant engineer at a large multinational automotive supplier had this to say about Lee and Paulding Inc: "You need to do seminars on how to make customers satisfied. You are the best business we deal with."
To us, there's no higher compliment. That's why we're in business!"

Optimizing for Manufacturing
Superior quality and on-time deliveries begin with a strong foundation. Each part we make for you will go through our standard manufacturability analysis.
This analysis checks each part to ensure it can be made efficiently and accurately.
Where necessary and with your approval, we will alter your designs to add small details such as tabs, slots and poka-yoke features to aid in assembly.
Poka-yoke: A Japanese term which means "mistake-proofing". Parts with poka-yoke features only assemble one way, preventing errors before they happen.
CAD / CAM and Documentation
CAD / CAM:
During the CAD / CAM phase we take your drawings or models and digitize them for our CNC equipment.
By making each part and assembly in the "virtual world", before making them in the "real world" we save you time and money.
Documentation:
Your intellectual property is important to us! That's why we produce our own shop drawings when your parts begin production.
Shop drawings ensure our fabricators have only the information they need and nothing they don't, preventing mistakes and protecting your intellectual property.
Laser Cutting
Most fabricated parts begin as laser cut blanks from sheet materials. We have substantial experience cutting materials as diverse as Titanium and shim stock only a few thousandths thick. So rest assured, your laser work is in capable hands!
Our large stock of sheet goods and quick turnaround from our vendors ensures short lead times.
Fiber Laser
3000mm x 1500mm (120" x 60")
Up to 13mm or 0.5" thick steel
Up to 6mm (.25") aluminum and stainless steel
Other materials:
Copper, Brass, 1095 Shim Stock as thin as .005"
Bending
Our CNC press brakes take your parts from two dimensions into three dimensions.
Typical accuracy:
Bend angle: +- 0.5 degrees or better
Bend location: +- .005" or better.
Actual accuracy is greatly part and material dependent. During manufacturing optimization we take this into account.
Welding
When your parts require it, we offer the following welding processes:
MIG
Robotic MIG
TIG
Laser
We have extensive experience welding the following materials:
Steel
Aluminum
Stainless
Metal Finishing and Laser Engraving
The breadth of our metal finishing knowledge and capability is simply unmatched! Suffice it to say, we have a solution to meet your requirements.
Hanger shot blasting up to 40" x 40" x 60"
Tumble shot blasting of parts up to 15 lbs.
42" x 48" x 48" sand blasting cabinet
52" wide belt and orbital deburring machine
52" wide graining and polishing capability
Multiple vibratory finishing machines
Powder coating up to 40" x 40" x 70" and 300 lbs.
200W MOPA engraving and marking laser.
Quality Control
Meet Bunkin, Quality Control Cat.
Each part we manufacture for you is inspected inside and out (occasionally by Bunkin herself) to ensure it meets your documented requirements.
But more seriously, rest assured knowing that your parts aren't "just another job" for us. Our processes are designed to make sure you have the right parts a the right time.
Packaging / Shipping
Nothing is more frustrating than receiving damaged parts, which is why we treat packaging and shipping as a science!
Whether we're preparing one part for local delivery or 10,000 parts for LTL shipment across the country, rest assured we have taken steps to eliminate damaged products.
