Criterion Manufacturing has through many changes in the past 50 years, but one thing has remained constant: our passion for manufacturing and the diverse sectors it supports.

In 1972, Criterion began as a manual machine shop in the basement of a house in Finchford, Iowa, repairing machines for nearby residents and businesses. Today, we continue to provide services to both domestic and international clients. We relocated to our current location in 2016. Under one roof, we have 50,000 square feet of manufacturing area, and there is plenty of room for growth. On the northern side of Waterloo, close to the airport, we are conveniently situated off US Highway 218.

We have the capacity to perform short- or long-run manufacturing, prototype using reverse engineering, or fix broken assemblies.
