North Coast Imagineering and Manufacture, LLC, officially starts in January of 2022 as a takeover of Lendrex which has been in operation since 2013 located in Houghton, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Superior. With new ownership, a new direction, and a new customer focus, North Coast Imagineering and Manufacture (NCIMfg) is spreading out from specializing in making advanced cutting tools to more of a broad base job-shop and low volume manufacturing. 

We stand apart from most other shops by utilizing experienced mechanical and design engineers through the entire customer service effort.  From talking to the customer to understand what it is they are after, writing the M&G code or working CAM software, developing the tailored inspection reports, and participating in the mechanical setup of the machines, the engineers at NCIMfg carry the project through from start to finish. Being well skilled at print / cad model interrogation and design development, we make sure that what your design intent is realized by talking with you to understand your needs. 

NCIMfg also offers CAD / detailing services under the protection of an NDA can help describe and develop your concepts as we work with you to reduce costs utilizing design for manufacturing techniques that do not compromise functionality. We offer these services even if you intend for a different machine shop to make your product. Having developed our own products, we understand the passion and drive bringing a concept to life and will do what we can to help you do it!
