Most cam companies will offer a "Custom" variant. There are only so many lobe-types and possible useful combinations on any engine setup. Sometimes, its only one thing, like LSA, that makes the cam "custom" from the shelf cams.

If you count up the companies that straight-up grind their own cams, you can probably have a few fingers or toes left to count on.

The VAST majority of even the bigger companies have their cams made, or sourced from CMC, Engine Power, and another company that I think is now a subdivision of Federal Mogul...the people that make a huge market share of parts-store replacement stuff.

These same companies made the O.E. stuff for most companies.
