About us

We are a precision sheet metal and machining manufacturing facility based in scenic Morgan Hill, California. The Pinnacle team is comprised of Silicon Valley industry veterans who take pride in delivering quality parts and assemblies that exceed our customers expectations. Our 85,000 square foot facility powered by solar energy serves all high-precision metal needs of a global customer base.

Core values

  • Commitment. We believe quality is not limited to the exacting details of part fit, finish and tolerances. The Pinnacle definition of quality is a complete and personal commitment to customer satisfaction.
  • Support. We understand the design process. Our engineering team is dedicated to assisting our customers through the initial prototype all the way through to high volume production.
  • Cooperation. Sometimes we find design adjustments that can lower the cost of customer parts while preserving design intent. Other times our customers suggest a specific tooling setup. We pride ourselves on being flexible and finding mutually beneficial solutions and processes to serve our customer base.
  • Accountability. We have one planet and no second chances. With our 15,000 square foot photovoltaic panel array, we are leading by example to prove the manufacturing industry can commit to clean and alternative energies without sacrificing either quality or scale.
