A Mid-Market Specialist in U.S. Precision Manufacturing
JD Machine occupies a rare middle ground — large enough to hold long-term aerospace and defense contracts, yet small enough that the owner still walks the floor and knows team members by name. Founded in 1979 by J. Don and Mary Ann Wardle and owned by their son Matt since 1992, the company has grown from a team of 6 to 230+ today, all under AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, and CMMC Level 2 credentials with ITAR registration.
- Family-owned and operated since 1979
- Grown from 6 to 230+ team members
- Third-party audited quality systems
- Succession paths planned in every department

Machining, Fabrication, Assembly, and Testing Under One Roof
Most programs require juggling multiple vendors. JD Machine carries the work from raw material to finished, tested assembly in a single Ogden facility, with a dedicated assembly room, a temperature- and humidity-controlled quality area, and a third facility addition underway. VMI and JIT pull systems extend into your supply chain, reducing the suppliers you qualify and the handoff points along the way.
