ABOUT Whitmer Industries, a shop built on reliability and trust
Whitmer Industries was founded on a pursuit of precision.
Our president, Dave Whitmer, brings a unique background to the shop floor: before launching Whitmer Industries, Dave served as a TOPGUN fighter pilot. That experience—where every maneuver, calculation, and decision had to be executed with absolute accuracy—translates directly into how we approach manufacturing today.
Flying a fighter jet demands more than skill; it requires trust in the aircraft itself, which is built from countless precision-machined components. In the same way, our team operates with that same commitment to exactitude, delivering tight tolerance machining that our customers can depend on.
Our mission
“Our mission is to build a sustainable company that creates value in the American economy and provides career paths for men and women of all walks of life.”
This mission represents the foundation of our business. As a Pittsburgh machine shop, we’re proud to contribute to American manufacturing while creating opportunities for our employees to learn, grow, and thrive. We foster an environment where people feel uplifted, challenged, and encouraged to be the best versions of themselves.

Our team coaches several local robotics groups, hosts gatherings in our shop, and helps young people design, build, and program their robots. These experiences inspire students to achieve their full potential, and also connect them with the possibilities of careers in a real robotics machine shop.
