Covenant MFG (CMFG)
My name is Caleb Harris, and I run Covenant MFG (CMFG), a precision mill machine shop, with my wife, from our shop in Rocklin, CA. Thanks to Pete Reynen of ACM Machining for inviting us to join the SVMA.
I started Covenant MFG after several years working for, and learning in, precision manufacturing production and job shops as an operator, then a machinist.
Being in my early 20’s, I sensed a need as a retiring generation of skilled machinists and shop owners have retired from the industry, leaving an unfilled demand for machining services.
I saved up and bought my first VMC in 2021 to take on job shop work on the side. We started by tackling difficult, low volume, expedited parts, and grew from there. After moonlighting for several months, we launched Covenant MFG as a full-time business. We have steadily added capabilities for tighter tolerances and faster production. We started and continue as a zero-debt company, allowing us to provide a rigid, reliable service no matter the state of the economy.
We’re also active on social media, especially Instagram (@covenentmfg), and enjoy engaging with the next generation of skilled tradesmen, and women entering the workforce.
