Mine did, when I had one (as job, that is). In my last position I used to go to a lot of big manufacturing companies. It was surprising how many people who work in industry are interested in astronomy and build all their own equipment (after all, they have all the equipment on hold to do so) Mind you, that isn't that surprising as lots of technical people are attracted to amateur astronomy.
I have met more amateurs in industry that when I worked for a optical company here in Perth. As a result, I was given (for nada) some great tubing for my pier. It is used cylinder tubing which has a nice thick wall for stability and also some 1" thick plate for the top and bottom. If I had managed to stay in that job a bit longer (made redundant due to GFC) I would also have had some access to machines so that I could have machined up the plates to fit the tube.
Also, I am a Machinist by trade and when I worked at it, about 25 years ago, I made my own equatorial mount for my first telescope. All the material used, except for caged and thrust bearings where scraps. I used a commercially available drive (as I have no electronic skillsd

) The company also allowed me to do my own machining, during company time, as long as I had no other jobs that needed to be completed. It sounds generous but isn't as I did a lot for that company.
