GET TO KNOW US

CIGNYS is a leading provider of custom engineering, design, machining, painting and fabrication solutions for defense, aerospace, automotive, and other industries.

 INNOVATING SINCE 1919

OUR HISTORY

For over a century, CIGNYS has been a trusted provider of quality metal solutions, serving the American manufacturing industry. As we look ahead to another hundred years, we remain committed to exceeding expectations with every product and service we deliver.

Founded in 1919 in Saginaw, Michigan, CIGNYS began as a stamping and tool & die company focused on automotive manufacturing. In the early days, we worked closely with automotive companies, providing parts that were integral to the emerging automotive industry. The precision and quality of our work quickly gained recognition, setting the stage for CIGNYS' growth in the years to come.

 Since World War II, CIGNYS has adapted quickly to the nation’s defense needs, designing and manufacturing more than 18,000 trailers and various fixtures to support the war effort. This pivotal moment marked a significant evolution, expanding from automotive solutions into military-grade manufacturing.

Building on Our Legacy

COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION

As we continued to grow, CIGNYS expanded into aerospace, energy, and chemical manufacturing. Our deep understanding of precision engineering and custom solutions allowed us to meet the growing demand for specialized equipment, such as power and free trolleys and heavy-duty lifting systems. These solutions have since become critical across automotive and industrial applications, providing reliability and efficiency.

Today, we remain committed to our core values of trust, integrity, innovation, and quality, continually evolving to meet the needs of new markets. By staying focused on these values, CIGNYS provides innovative solutions that meet tomorrow’s demands while maintaining the high standards that have defined us for over a century.
