About Haake Manufacturing Co
Haake Manufacturing Co. operates from a 100,000-square-foot facility in De Soto, Missouri. The company was founded in 1948 by Fred C. Haake Sr., a German-trained machinist, and his wife Elfriede, who opened a small tool-and-die shop in their St. Louis garage with a single punch press. In 1963, the second generation — Fred Jr. and Lorraine Haake — relocated the business to De Soto and added a dedicated trucking operation to control delivery. Today the company is led by fourth-generation family member Jay Rieker, maintaining continuous family ownership since inception. The shop provides full-service precision sheet metal fabrication under one roof. Core processes include CNC laser cutting (up to 10,000 watts), CNC punching with 360-degree tool rotation, combined punch/laser cells that form and contour in a single setup, CNC press brake forming with six-axis back gauges, metal stamping on AIDA cells up to 160 tons (supplemented by 5–150-ton presses), robotic MIG/MAG welding of steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and a fully automated powder coating line with six-stage wash, infrared pre-processing, and zirconium pretreatment. Secondary services cover assembly, hardware insertion, and finish coordination. Haake serves manufacturers across the United States, with historical roots in the St. Louis industrial base. The company now supports reshoring programs and just-in-time inventory strategies for OEMs and contract assemblers requiring domestic supply-chain stability. The founding principle — deliver parts that arrive on time and fit flawlessly — remains the stated differentiator. Haake emphasizes its central U.S. location, in-house freight, and solar-assisted low operating costs as structural advantages that enable 2-day shipping to either coast, 99% on-time delivery, and defect rates of 292 PPM for fabrication and 0 PPM for powder coating (2025 data).
