ABOUT
Innovative Machining Solutions is a precision CNC machine shop located in Vienna, ME. IMS was founded in 2016 as a consulting business. CNC curriculum development, onsite trainings, CNC programming and turn key applications founded IMS. Once machines arrived in the shop, R and D work and power generation fixture builds started. Following a passion for the performance automotive industry, IMS quickly grew into creating custom off-road products.
Today we offer an expanding product line that includes drag racing, sled pulling, mud racing, desert racing and a variety of other motorsports. While the product line is at the forefront of what we do, our machines still stay busy everyday doing contract work and white label machining for other countries across North America.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our site,
