Jupiter’s VMC4024 Review by K&S Machining

We recently brought the Jupiter VMC-4024 into our shop, and to say we’re impressed would be an understatement. From the moment the machine was powered on, it was clear that every detail—from the design of the casting to the layout of the control interface—was engineered by people who truly understand the needs of machinists.

SBA Award: Pegasus Manufacturing Named Illinois Manufacturer of the Year at Jupiter Open House

On June 5th 2025, Jupiter Machine Tool proudly partnered with Pegasus Manufacturing to host the Meet The Makers Open House event — a landmark occasion that brought together innovators, engineers, and industry leaders under one roof. Guests were treated to live machine demonstrations, guided facility tours, and firsthand experiences with Jupiter’s latest precision equipment.

But the true highlight of the day came during the award ceremony, when Ray and Ruth Whitehead, co-founders of Pegasus Manufacturing, were honored by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) with the title 2025 Illinois Manufacturer of the Year.
