About Specialized Machine L.L.C.
Founded in 2002 by Chad Ulvestad, Specialized Machine steadily grew by providing an honest and ethical approach to the machining industry. In 2019, Specialized was purchased by Kevin Berg of First Manufacturing, a former Mechanical Engineering classmate and later co-worker of Chad’s, combining the talent and brainpower of two businessowners, as well as the capabilities and dedication to perfection common between the companies. Chad is still a vital part of the company, serving as the Sales Engineer for both Specialized Machine and First Manufacturing.
Both Chad Ulvestad and Kevin Berg graduated from SD School of Mines and Technology with Mechanical Engineering degrees and have worked in the Tool & Die and Machining industries throughout their professional careers.

- How are future sales affected by a quality failure in the field?
- Do you have the proper equipment to machine the part internally?
- How is the quality with the internal process?
- Does the quality cause more problems in subsequent operations?
- If you consider lost labor time at all stages, what’s the true cost of the part?
- Can your existing labor be better utilized doing something else?
