Our Journey
Your Trusted Experts in Custom Metal Fabrication Since 1988
American Machine, Inc. was founded by Mike Schuhler in 1988 as a small machine shop in Meridian, IL, providing repair jobs for local farmers. In 1994, the business relocated to Mendota, IL, and rebranded as American Machine. With over 30 years of experience, we proudly uphold the values of quality, integrity, and customer focus that Mike instilled from the beginning.
Today, while Mike remains an active part of the business, his sons, Nolan and Riley, have returned to take American Machine into the future. They bring fresh perspectives and innovative approaches, all while staying committed to the tradition of quality and integrity their father established.

What our customers say
“My dad and Mike have been working/doing business together for 35+ years. Mike’s relationship with my dad trickled down to me and now down to the next generation with Nolan and Riley. I have always enjoyed stopping in and not only getting what we need for the farm but also seeing the exceptional work and all the new projects that are coming out of their shop. Looking forward to the next 35+ years!”
– Josh Beetz, Sam Beetz & Sons/Meriden Grain
We’ve had the pleasure and comfort of the fact that American Machine has been a consistent vendor to our company as well over this entire frame of time. We have done multitudes of projects together from simple fabrication to full blown structures. I can honestly say that American Machine has never let us down throughout our entire business relationship. This is a true rarity from my personal experience!
– Steven M Phalen, Phalen Steel Construction Company
American Machine has been one of our “go to” metal fabrication companies for
almost 20 years. Mike, Nolan, and Riley have consistently exceeded our
expectations in terms of workmanship and timeliness. American Machine is
capable of completing very complex fabrication projects with very little guidance.
Their expertise with all types of materials for projects large and small is excellent.
