Treske Precision Machining

Since our formation, Treske has been committed to innovation and excellence in precision machining. At the foundation of this pursuit is our culture of continuous improvement. Our team is engaged at every level of the organization to constantly look for new ways to improve processes, facilities, and systems that redefine precision machining. It is this team that continues to make Treske a company that is customer focused and quality driven. Treske is a family business founded by Gustav Treske in 1977. Born in 1934, Gustav grew up in war-torn Soviet occupied Eastern Germany, where he began working as a machinist apprentice at the age of 15. Just four years later, Gus left home for a work opportunity in Western Germany – not knowing that Eastern Germany would soon be closed off to the world for the next 40 years. Gus immigrated to the United States in 1959. Arriving with nothing and speaking little English, he was determined to be successful. He found work as a contract machinist for several years – including a position in the aerospace industry where he was involved in machining parts for the Apollo space program. In 1973, Gus moved his family to Oregon and started Treske Precision Machining, Inc., as a small job shop in 1977. With four children and a wife to care for, times were often tough – but Gus pushed forward by constantly looking for ways to make parts faster and more effectively. Theo Treske, joined the company in 1989. Together, father and son continued to build up the company and eventually extended Treske’s service offering – including fabrication and integration. Known for their superb quality and value, they grew the organization from a small job shop to a manufacturer capable of complex, high level assembly integration. Today, Treske continues to improve and perfect its craft. The company has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a small machine shop, but at its core, Treske Precision Machining will always be a family business
