Our Associates Make the Difference

A History of Innovation and Success

Maine Machine Products was founded in 1956 by Roland Sutton and Bill Detert when the local metalworking trade was in its infancy. Their engineering degrees and military background laid the groundwork to launch their own precision machining company which, in 1982, Sutton took over complete control.

To ensure a pool of workers qualified for ever-more complex contracts, the company developed a close relationship with Central Maine Community College and established a scholarship program. Since 1974, over half of the scholarship recipients are still employed by the company today.

In 2010, the Sutton family sold MMP to GenNx360 Capital Partners. GenNx360 manages a $600+ million private equity fund dedicated to business-to-business industrial companies. Its partners have worked together for more than two decades and have more than 100 years of combined global operating and portfolio management experience.

Focusing on Quality and Technology

Located in South Paris, Maine, MMP has since expanded into a 65,000 SF state-of-the-art facility, containing the latest in CNC and multi-axis machines and precision inspection equipment. We maintain high-quality assurance standards, holding ISO 9001:2008 & AS 9100C Certifications, and pride ourselves with an efficient and clean working environment. We currently operate two shifts; both staffed with associates who are highly experienced and quality focused. We are a world-class manufacturer of custom components and assemblies for targeted high-tech markets, such as semi-conductor; medical; defense and aerospace; telecom and fiber optics; and oil and gas.
