CNC repair in La Crosse
Manufacturing on the Mississippi
La Crosse is home to major heating and cooling equipment manufacturing, along with brewing, food production, fabrication and machine shops. Sheet metal work is big here: punching, bending, laser cutting and roll forming.
Like the rest of western Wisconsin, La Crosse is a longer trip from our founding regions, so we plan visits carefully and recommend maintenance plans for key machines. When you call, we’ll tell you honestly how we can help and when.
La Crosse sits on I-90 and US 53 along the Mississippi.
