About D&E Machine Co.
D&E Machine Company operates from Lebanon, Ohio, situated between Dayton and Cincinnati. The shop traces its roots to 1971 when Dink and Etta Bennett began machining parts in a one-car garage on State Route 42. The business expanded to a 10,000-square-foot facility in 1985 and moved to a modern industrial building in 2010. Kent and Kim Coomer purchased the company in 1990, and on April 1, 2026, Damian and Kristin Whitaker acquired it, continuing the legacy. The company provides precision CNC machining, including multi-axis milling with a 50-by-98-by-22-inch work envelope and 4th-axis capability, as well as CNC turning with live tooling, a 4-inch through-spindle, 48-inch centers, and tolerances of ±0.001 inch. It also offers design for manufacturing using Mastercam CAD/CAM, reverse engineering, prototyping, and full assembly services ranging from bench-top to large floor assemblies, including electro-mechanical, hydraulic, and robotic end-of-arm tooling. Production volumes run up to 200 units for milling jobs and up to 1,000 units for turning. Its customer base includes companies such as Dynamax Solutions, Motorsolver, Performance Systems, and Gears Unlimited, primarily across the Midwest. The Whitakers emphasize the shop’s ability to devise unconventional machining approaches that reduce cost and lead time, backed by rigorous inspection on every part and a reputation for on-time delivery built over more than four decades.
