Florida Manufacturer FKI Invests in Two New Matsuura H.Plus-300 Machines

FKI Precision, a long-established name in ultra-critical tolerance machining, has just expanded its machining capabilities with the delivery of two new Matsuura H.Plus-300 horizontal machining centers at its Clearwater, Florida facility.

Founded in 1952 on Long Island, FKI began as a small family-owned job shop focused on high-precision components for specialized industries. Over the decades, the company has adapted to changing technologies and market demands, building a reputation for exacting quality, precision engineering, and a relentless commitment to customer satisfaction.

Today, FKI operates from its modern, expanded headquarters in Clearwater, where it continues to serve customers in aerospace, instrumentation, and other high-spec sectors.

The H.Plus-300: A Smart Investment in Productivity and Precision

The addition of two Matsuura H.Plus-300 machines reflects FKI’s ongoing investment in world-class machining technology. Known industry-wide for their rigid construction, high-speed accuracy, and multi-pallet automation, the H.Plus series from Matsuura has become a popular choice among manufacturers looking to scale production without sacrificing precision.

With exceptional thermal stability, high chip removal rates, and proven reliability in lights-out environments, the H.Plus-300 is particularly well suited to companies like FKI that demand consistent, high-precision results across complex part geometries.

This latest move aligns with FKI’s focus on enhancing throughput while maintaining the ultra-tight tolerances that have defined the company’s work for over 70 years.

Supporting Growth With Skilled Talent

As FKI continues to grow its capabilities, it’s also actively hiring — looking to add skilled CNC programmers, set-up technicians, and other roles to support its expanding operations.

With its long-standing history, cutting-edge equipment, and commitment to quality, FKI remains one of Florida’s standout precision manufacturers — and a great place to build a career in advanced machining.
