In 1974, Jack Benny passed away. Nixon resigned. The $6 Million Man premiered on TV. Hank Aaron broke the Babe’s home-run record. Speed limits were capped at 55 mph and Steve Mosher and a partner started Precise Machining and Manufacturing - in a tiny, 2,500 square foot Tulsa building with four other employees and a small assortment of tools. 

In 1975, Steve purchased all shares of the company and became its sole owner. The very next month, torrential rains flooded the plant - and set off an electrical explosion and fire. Undaunted, the company moved forward - in a new location, with new contracts on the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and McDonnell Douglas Harpoon programs. Precise still manufactures some of these same parts today.

In 1981, Precise moved to its current Tulsa location with 10 employees. Three years later, the employee roster had grown to 50, during the ramp up of the B-1b program. 

In 1993, Precise began exploring work on the Boeing 737 Next Generation program and, in 1995, secured the contract that began a period of phenomenal growth. 

In 1999, with On-Time Deliveries exceeding 99% and Quality Acceptance rates better than 99%, Precise became one of only 168 companies selected by Boeing from some 30,000 suppliers to receive Silver Preferred Supplier status.

In March, 1999, Precise and its partners in the Boeing JDAM program received funding from the U.S. Air Force to support further development of Lean Manufacturing techniques for implementation in small and mid-sized manufacturing environments.

It was also in this year that Precise began providing returnable parts kits directly to the Boeing, Tulsa production line.

In February, 2002, Precise was recognized by the Boeing Company as a 2001 supplier of the year. This was the first year that the Boeing Company honored suppliers from across the entire enterprise.

In 2003, Precise began complex bench assembly with products like the C-17 pedestal assembly. 

In 2005, Precise received certification through NADCAP for shot peen, surface enhancement. 

In 2006, Precise was awarded statements of work on the 787 Dreamliner program from three different risk-sharing partners. 

In 2007, Precise was certified to AS9100:2004 by Det Norske Veritas (DNV). 

In 2008, Precise fundamentally changed machining operations on the 737 program through the introduction of multi-machine, multi-pallet cells. 

In its 35 year history, Precise has completed six plant expansions and purchased dozens of new machining systems. Employment has grown to over 200 employees. The company has been recognized as a model for the development and implementation of innovative, efficiency-boosting, cost-cutting manufacturing techniques.
