A Houston-based custom manufacturing company built on a passion for making. American-made. Locally operated. Globally capable.
Export Commodity was founded in Houston, Texas with a simple but powerful conviction: that custom manufacturing should be accessible, fast, and done right here in the United States. We started as a small operation with a handful of machines and a commitment to quality over shortcuts — and that principle has guided every decision we’ve made since.
Houston is a city of builders, engineers, and entrepreneurs. It’s a city that makes things. We chose to plant our roots here because we believe in the spirit of this community and the demand for serious, professional manufacturing services that meet the standards of Houston’s industries — from petrochemical engineering to architectural design to the booming startup and tech scene.
Today, Export Commodity operates a multi-technology facility in Houston with FDM, SLA, SLS, and industrial FFF systems capable of producing parts in 50+ materials. We serve clients across engineering, architecture, product development, events, and retail — from single prototypes to batch production runs. Every part we make is manufactured in-house, in Houston, in the USA.
To make professional-grade custom manufacturing accessible to every business — from solo inventors to Fortune 500 teams — with zero minimums, zero compromises on quality, and a relentless commitment to American manufacturing.
Every order, regardless of size, gets the same care: a free DFM review, material consultation, quality inspection, and direct communication with the team that actually made your parts. No call centers. No ticket queues. Real people, real accountability.
Four reasons our clients choose us — and come back.
Local
We’re in Houston — which means local expertise, a deeper understanding of the industries driving this city, and the ability to offer face-to-face consultations for projects that need that personal touch. When your deadline is tight and you need answers fast, you’re talking to someone who can walk to the machine on your behalf. Local means accountable.
Flexible
Traditional manufacturing demands minimum orders that make sense for the manufacturer but not for you. We reject that model. Whether you need one custom part for a one-time repair or 500 branded promotional items for a trade show, we take the order and execute it with the same care. Scale up when you’re ready. We’ll be here.
American
Every single part produced by Export Commodity is manufactured in our Houston, Texas facility by our team. We do not outsource to overseas factories. Made in USA isn’t a marketing slogan for us — it’s the only way we operate. That means faster turnaround, better quality control, and the ability to communicate directly with the people making your parts throughout production.
Expert
Design-for-Manufacturing review is a professional engineering service that many shops charge extra for — or don’t offer at all. At Export Commodity, every single order receives a DFM review before production begins. We check wall thickness, tolerances, overhangs, material suitability, and orientation optimization to ensure your part comes out right the first time. No surprises. No reprints. No wasted time.
