Laser North
As experts in modern metal manufacturing, our customers rely on us as a broad-spectrum supplier – from processing the simplest components to fabricating complex, finished goods that are ready to install on assembly lines.
Value-Driven, Employee Dedication
Founded in 1955, Laser North is a private corporation operated by the Niemela family, under the direction of the third generation. We have evolved into a state-of-the-art laser cutting and precision metal fabricating firm with fast turn-arounds that meet your prototype and high-production needs.
With facilities totaling more than 100,000 square feet in Baraga, Michigan and Hayti, South Dakota, we partner with companies across the USA, providing them with carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum products.
Massie Manufacturing
With experienced welders, machinists, and decades of experience across the many verticals, we deliver integrated fabrication and machined components from simple to complex designs. Massie has decades of experience supporting the defense industry, and our commitment to the warfighter is second to none, honoring a tradition of service dating back to our founder's time in the military.
Family-Owned Business
Also located in Baraga in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Massie Manufacturing is a family-owned business operating on small town values, paired with large scale capabilities and resources. With a history dating back to the 1960s, Massie Manufacturing was acquired by the Niemela Heritage Group in March 2021 as an opportunity to expand service offerings, while continually providing trademark customer service.
Prototype through Production
Massie's tradition of service to the war fighter began with the Army, making prototype equipment through a partnership with the Keweenaw Research Center. After witnessing the Massie team's dedication and reliability, work expanded with other Military Contractors, including:
- Sound Panels for General Dynamics
- Low Profile Mufflers for Marvin Land Systems
- Mine Rollers, Rakes and Explosive Device Clearing Equipment for US Army
- Prototype Hulls & Bar Armor Kits for US Army
- Interface Brackets for military vehicles
- Bobcat Roller for several defense contractors
Our defense-related production list continues to grow as we expand our service offerings and remain committed to the both the success of our direct partners and the warfighter in the field of action.
