Our Story

Engineering Roots.
Manufacturing Born from Necessity.

Precision machined parts by Carmatech Engineering and Machine
Precision Swiss-Turned Components — Carmatech Engineering and Machine

Carmatech Engineering and Machine didn't start as a machine shop. It grew out of one — born from the engineering DNA of Carmatech Engineering, a precision design and manufacturing company that has spent decades building some of the most technically advanced pneumatic launchers in the paintball industry.

Carmatech Engineering's products are renowned for their precision, reliability, and innovation. That same obsession with tight tolerances and repeatable performance is what shaped how we think about machining.

"After COVID exposed just how fragile global supply chains could be, we made a decision: bring manufacturing in-house. What started as a necessity became a competitive advantage."

By investing in Swiss CNC lathe capabilities, Carmatech dramatically reduced both development costs and time-to-market for new products. Parts that once took weeks to source externally could now be turned around in days — to exact spec, with full visibility at every step.

That in-house capacity didn't stay idle. Carmatech Engineering and Machine now offers that same Swiss lathe expertise to outside customers — giving manufacturers, engineers, and procurement teams access to a shop that truly understands precision because it was built by people who demand it.

2010 — Foundation

Carmatech Engineering established as a precision engineering and design company, developing high-performance pneumatic launchers for the paintball market. Over the following decade, Carmatech designed more than 150 unique Swiss lathe-optimized parts — building deep expertise in small-diameter, tight-tolerance components from the ground up.

Expansion

Paradigm Tactical Systems founded as a sister company, applying Carmatech's proven pneumatic technology to the less-lethal and defense markets.

Post-COVID

Supply chain disruptions accelerated the decision to bring precision machining in-house, significantly cutting lead times and development costs.

Today

Carmatech Engineering and Machine opens its Swiss lathe capacity to outside customers — delivering the same precision demanded internally, now available to you.

Built for Swiss.
Equipped for Everything.

Our shop is purpose-built around Swiss lathe machining, supported by a full suite of complementary equipment, software, and inspection tools.
