35+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE • BUILT FOR WHAT’S NEXT
Deep Experience. Modern Execution.
Light Speed Solutions is an owner-operated CNC job shop founded by Pete Vellenga in Muskegon, Michigan. With more than 35 years of experience spanning machining, engineering, process development, tooling, quality, and production, Pete brings an unusually broad manufacturing perspective to every project—combined with the responsiveness, technology, and direct accountability of a modern, agile shop.
A Broader View of Manufacturing
Manufacturing problems rarely exist in isolation. A design decision can affect tooling, workholding, cycle time, inspection, cost, and delivery. Pete’s background across engineering, CNC machining, Swiss and multi-axis processes, tooling, quality, and production allows LSS to evaluate the complete job—not just the feature being cut.
