Decades of Precision in Can Manufacturing
Led by Schuyler Porter, Shadetree's Machine Shop brings over 30 years of hands-on expertise directly to your facility. Based in Lodi, CA, we are not a traditional machine shop that simply cuts parts. We are specialized problem-solvers for the can manufacturing industry.
Having served as a Can Shop Maintenance Manager, a Repair Facility Shop Manager, and a line maintenance technician across multiple food manufacturing facilities, Schuyler understands the cost of downtime. Whether it is an emergency breakdown, a complete machine overhaul, or identifying the source of excessive spoilage, Shadetree's Machine Shop delivers solutions that keep your lines moving.

Bridging the Gap in Modern Manufacturing
Today, many production factories find themselves understaffed, lacking the highly specialized experience necessary to take on new projects or maintain current equipment efficiently. Even facilities with dedicated maintenance teams often need external expertise to recognize when machines need critical attention before a catastrophic failure occurs.
That is where Shadetree's Machine Shop steps in. We provide the high-level mechanical assistance, line audits, and in-factory employee training needed to optimize your production and reduce spoilage.
