Who We Are

Family-owned. Built on decades in the shop.

Advance Machining Inc. was founded to bring precision CNC capability to the crane and hoist industry — a niche that demands parts built to hold real loads, not just pass a quick check.

Our Story

Built on the floor, not in a boardroom.

Advance Machining Inc. is co-owned and operated by Christian and Sandro Agostinelli, brothers who bring their combined machining background together under one roof in Stoney Creek. Christian is the veteran of the two, with decades of hands-on machining experience behind him. Sandro rounds out the team with his own shop experience and leads on CNC programming and the software side of the business. Between them, the shop runs on real production know-how, not just equipment.

We focus on crane and hoist components because that's where our experience runs deepest — wheels, axles, pinions, bearing housings, sheaves, and hookblock parts for manufacturers who can't afford a part that fails under load.

Giuseppe "Joe" Agostinelli

1951 – 2023

Our father started the family machine shop that came before this one and taught Christian and Sandro everything they know about the trade. That original shop closed during COVID, but the standards he set didn't go anywhere — everything Advance Machining does today still runs on what he built.

None of this happens without him.

Who We Build For

Manufacturers who put our parts to work.

We supply crane and hoist manufacturers and integrators across the Hamilton and Greater Toronto Area — the kind of customers who send us a print expecting it to come back exactly to spec, because their equipment depends on it.
