Custom EDM is the EDM machine shop that world-class manufacturers trust to get their projects done right the first time–and every time after that.

Founded before EDM was cool–and here to stay.

Custom EDM LLC was founded in 1971 as Alpine Tool & Manufacturing by Joe Giangrasso and later purchased by his son, John, in 2001. Just days after the 9/11 attacks.

Talk about a challenge!

That’s not the only challenge Custom EDM has had to endure, and it won’t be the last. Custom EDM is here to stay, whatever it takes. Big challenges are just another opportunity for us to find innovative solutions.

We continuously add new equipment, capacity, and capabilities to expand our EDM prototyping and production capabilities. Now more than ever, Custom EDM is able to assist our customers with simple or complex projects and serve their individual needs efficiently and accurately.

We maintain close personal relationships with our customers and work hard to continually improve our performance and services. Thriving through decades of economic downturns and offshoring, our pristine, modern 6000-square-foot facility in the San Francisco Bay Area near Silicon Valley is filled with state-of-the-art EDM machines that are kept in mint condition.
