Midwest Control Products Corp · Bushnell, Illinois · Since 1967

Broad capabilities, deep inventory, and transparent, formula-based pricing, with no runaround. We've manufactured per-print parts for OEMs since 1967, and our team has the depth and the candor to help you get from application to delivery.

A company built on honest relationships

Midwest Control Products has manufactured in Bushnell, Illinois since 1967, nearly 59 years of building components for OEM customers across agriculture, construction, marine, industrial machinery, defense, and more. We're ISO 9001:2015 certified and serve roughly 10,000 OEM and distributor customers worldwide. A lot of our parts are on equipment you'd recognize. We just don't put our name on the side of it.

Our facility handles forging, machining, fabrication, plate and tube cutting and bending, powder coating, and 3D printing under one roof. Broad in-house capability means shorter lead times, tighter quality control, and fewer handoffs between you and a finished part. We import where it makes competitive sense, our ball joint line for example, and manufacture in-house where it gives us a real edge, including our forged yoke ends and nylon-raced spherical rod ends.

Our pricing runs on formulas, not negotiation, not relationship, not volume. In nearly 59 years of business, we've never once changed the margin we apply to a customer's job. That predictability is a feature: fast, consistent, and honest.

Our team has the capabilities and the candor to help you get from application to delivery, whether you arrive fully engineered or are just getting started.

Understanding our competitive niche

Our niche is specific, and we know it well. The rule of thumb is simple: if you find the product type in our catalog and it comes in lots of variations, thread sizes, body styles, materials, configurations, then regardless of your volume, we can compete. That's where our inventory depth and formula-based pricing give us a genuine advantage over both domestic competitors and offshore sources with long lead times.

What we're not: we're not your bank and we're not negotiators. You'll get a number fast, and it will be the real number.

Hardware items are often stocked. Customer-specific fabrications are never stocked. If we can't build it competitively to your release quantity, we'll say so, and try to help you find who can.
Our capabilities

Broad in-house capability, one facility instead of three. Our strongest categories carry deep inventory across many thread sizes and configurations.

Ball Joints

Over 700,000 in stock, full line imported. Competitive at any volume across a wide range of thread sizes and configurations. Lead times in-stock to 8 months.

Clevises, Yoke Ends & Pins

Over 1,000,000 yoke and clevis ends in stock. Many forged yoke ends are made right here in Bushnell, not imported parts in disguise. Competitive on pins that pair with our standard ends.

Spherical Rod End Bearings

Over 1,000,000 in stock, many nylon-raced rod ends made in-house. One of our strongest categories, competitive at any volume when the configuration is one we carry.

Push-Pull Cables

Competitive at any volume on push-pull cables (not brake cables) that are threaded on one or both ends and use standard inch or metric ends.

Plate & Tube Cutting and Bending

Brackets, frames, structural weldments, custom tabs, and mounting components, cut and bent in-house. One facility instead of coordinating between three.

Powder Coating

In-house powder coating across a broad spectrum of standard colors. Fabricated assemblies quoted with finish included: one order, one supplier, one lead time.

3D Printing — FDM & SLS

FDM and SLS in-house in engineering-grade materials (Nylon 12, Nylon 11, TPU, ASA, PETG). SLS yields production-grade parts with real strength and complex geometry, no hard tooling required.

Large & Unique Assemblies

Mechanical linkage assemblies in any volume; tubing and bar fabrications with molded polyurethane bushings or sewn products. The complex assemblies nobody else wants to quote are often where we're most useful.
