Sunbelt Modular Enhances National Capacity with Whitley Manufacturing Acquisition
Sunbelt Modular, Inc.—a leading provider of high-quality, sustainable modular building solutions—has announced the acquisition of Whitley Manufacturing, a well-respected company known for its complex modular commercial structures.
Whitley operates facilities in South Whitley and Rochester, Indiana, Marysville, Washington, and Leola, Pennsylvania. The acquisition brings Sunbelt’s network to 15 manufacturing sites across the U.S., reinforcing its ability to deliver custom modular buildings with enhanced scale, quality, and “white-glove” service.
For the precision machining industry, this consolidation signals a surge in demand for machined subcomponents used in modular construction. Precision CNC milling, machining of structural connectors, metal brackets, embedded hardware, and custom façade panels will likely see higher demand as Whitley’s modules integrate into Sunbelt’s broader network. Machine shops offering tight-tolerance metal components, cut-and-weld assemblies, or embedded machining for pre-plumbed and pre-wired modules can anticipate new collaboration opportunities. Expertise in finishing, coatings, and assembly-ready parts will help precision suppliers differentiate in a market where modular construction depends on clean integration and factory-built quality.

What is the Embedded Component Machining?
This is one of many key terms of our broad Machine Nation Essential Modern Precision Industries Guidebook (MPIG). Click here to get a copy straight to your inbox.
Embedded Component Machining – The precision machining of structural and mechanical parts integrated directly into modular building units during factory assembly. These components require tight tolerances and high-quality finishes to ensure seamless fit and durable performance in pre-fabricated structures.
