Banner Welding and Machine Works, Inc. is a well-regarded tool and die shop based in Four Oaks, North Carolina, just a short drive southeast of Raleigh. They’ve carved out a niche as a versatile engineering and manufacturing outfit, focusing on precision work for industries that rely on custom molds, dies, and tooling. The shop offers a broad range of services, including solid modeling, 3D milling, wire EDM (electrical discharge machining), ram EDM, tool design, prototyping, mold and die fabrication, and repair. They’re known for handling everything from one-off prototypes to full production runs, making them a go-to for companies needing tailored machining solutions.

Located at 8010 Stricklands Crossroads Road, the business has a reputation for blending skilled craftsmanship with modern tech. Their team includes experienced machinists and welders who tackle complex projects—think custom fixtures, engineering tweaks, and high-precision components. They’ve got the gear to match, with capabilities like CNC machining and EDM, which let them work with tight tolerances and tricky materials. It’s a small operation compared to industrial giants, but that’s part of their appeal: personalized service with a focus on quality over mass output.

Locally, they’re seen as a reliable player in the manufacturing ecosystem around Raleigh-Durham, where industries like biotech, automotive, and electronics create steady demand for custom tooling. They’ve been around long enough to build a loyal client base—think small-to-mid-sized manufacturers who need a shop that can adapt to shifting specs or rush jobs. Social media hints at a family-oriented vibe, with posts about community events and a tight-knit crew, though they keep a low profile online compared to flashier firms.

No hard data on their workforce size or revenue pops up easily, but their setup suggests a lean, skilled team—maybe 10-20 people at most, typical for a specialized job shop. As for labor rates, they’d align with the Raleigh-area mold manufacturing range I mentioned earlier—likely billing $80–$120 per hour for standard work, possibly more for rush or ultra-precise jobs. They’re not the cheapest option around, but you’re paying for expertise and flexibility. If you’re curious about specifics like their latest projects or exact pricing, they’re reachable at (919) 894-5398—most shops like this thrive on direct inquiries rather than splashy ads.

We have a customer that stripped a gear in his Vermeer excavator. He called every dealership,in the country, that he could find. He even called Germany and there was none available. We tried to find one too, with no luck, so we made him two new gears.
