Wauseon Machine reorganizes, introduces Integrion Automation and Steelcrest Precision

Robotic automation, tube forming technologies and precision machining and fabrication organization Wauseon Machine announced a strategic reorganization that it said positions the company for its next phase of growth.

The business will now operate as two dedicated companies: Integrion Automation and Steelcrest Precision.

Both new companies will continue to be supported by long-term industrial holding company Cornerstone Corporation.

Strategic step in multi-decade evolution

Wauseon Machine said that this evolution reflects a clear strategic focus - enabling each company to strengthen its expertise, accelerate investment and deliver deeper partnerships to customers.

“This reorganization is a natural and strategic step in our evolution. Our customers’ needs continue to grow more complex, and this transformation strengthens our ability to meet them with unmatched depth and clarity” said Peter Paras III, CEO, Cornerstone Corporation. “As independent companies, Integrion Automation and Steelcrest Precision can focus fully on their distinct markets while continuing to be guided by the shared values of quality, ingenuity, and trust that have defined Wauseon Machine since 1983.”

For over four decades, Wauseon Machine said it has built a reputation for innovation and technical excellence across automation integration, tube forming, and precision machining. As customer needs have evolved and markets have expanded, the company said it recognized that each business line required increasingly different investment strategies, talent profiles, and operating rhythms.

By creating Integrion Automation and Steelcrest Precision as distinct companies, each can invest more deeply in the technologies, capabilities and people that will deliver the greatest value to customers.

Integrion Automation represents the next chapter for Wauseon Machine’s automation, field service and tube end forming operations. The company said this transition reflects a long-term commitment to advancing the future of automation through deep engineering expertise and cutting-edge technology.

Steelcrest Precision builds on Wauseon Machine’s decades of experience in precision machining and fabrication. The company said the transition reflects a continued dedication to uncompromising quality, craftsmanship and customer partnership. Steelcrest Precision said it will deliver advanced machining and fabrication from concept and design through assembly and rigorous inspection - supported by expanded investments in technology, talent and advanced manufacturing capabilities.

“This reorganization gives each business the independence to grow in the ways their markets demand,” Paras said. “But they remain connected by a common heritage. That combination of independence and shared values will continue to serve our customers for decades to come.”
