Manufacturing Operations Ceasing
Sherline Products, Inc., a US-based manufacturer known for its precision lathes, mills, and micro-machining accessories, has announced it is winding down its manufacturing operations. The company, which also produced small CNC machines, stated that continuing manufacturing is no longer sustainable.
Reasons for Closure
The company cited significant changes in the manufacturing environment, including the effects of COVID, increasing manufacturing and operating costs, and shifts in consumer purchasing habits. These factors made it difficult for the small American manufacturer to maintain competitiveness, workforce, and production levels.
Phased Wind-Down and Support
Sherline plans to continue building and selling machines, tooling, accessories, and replacement parts using its remaining inventory, equipment, and staff until the end of October 2026. However, some products requiring larger production equipment may become unavailable sooner. The company will maintain an online presence for replacement parts and address warranty issues. An owner later clarified that Sherline will no longer be in business by the end of 2024 at the latest.
