Who we are
It all started in 1972 when Richard LeCleir and his wife Susan launched LeCleir Die & Stamping as a small modest shop fueled by a passion for precision craftsmanship. As demand grew we expanded our manufacturing capabilities and evolved into Sunrise Machine & Tool, Inc.
Over the decades, we’ve sparked several spin-off ventures, honing our knack for turning ideas into thriving businesses. That’s why we’re the ideal partner for innovators: We don’t just build parts; we help launch legacies.
Our secret? True vertical integration. From design to delivery, everything happens under one roof. This lets us slash lead times, ensure top-tier quality, and deliver exceptional value—at a fraction of the cost. No middlemen, no compromises—just results that keep our clients ahead of the curve.
