In May 2024, Schneider Resources Holding acquired a majority stake in JR Machine, a Shawano-based contract manufacturer specializing in complex machined parts. The partnership was motivated by a desire to sustain JR Machine's family legacy, founded by Parker Tumanic's father in the '90s.

After initial negotiations with a private equity firm fell through, Schneider was introduced to JR Machine and quickly initiated discussions. The company has pivoted to precision machining of nickel-based superalloys, experiencing significant growth since 2021, particularly in the space exploration market.

Trust and open communication between both parties were crucial for finalizing the deal, which also included representation and warranty insurance for added security. Both ownership groups have since engaged with employees to ensure a smooth transition and have maintained ongoing collaboration.
