An example of our hardmetal experience is the production of (60) nacelle fittings from titanium block. Our Hitachi Seiki FMS consisting of (3) horizontal machining centers produce these parts with maximum "lights out" efficiency.

The highlight of our aluminum machining capability is our 5 Axis Matsuura Flexible Manufacturing System which when fully configured consists of (4) CNC machines and a (44) pallet stacker. These machines also operate lights out and product wing rib components and other complex shaped parts from forged block and plate.

Our sheet metal cell primarily supports our customer's spares and aircraft conversion programs. Capabilities include hydro forming, roll forming, stamping, hot & cold joggling and stretching/shrinking of extrusions and sheet where we also support our customer’s kitting and assembly requirements.

We work with our customers to develop kitting techniques designed to reduce our customer's factory inventory levels. Our kits are designed as "process specific", tailored to suit the mechanics specific needs. We kit in specially designed containers that orient the parts to the aircraft/product insulation location. An example of this is the 777 program where we deliver daily to the factory floor; each kit consists of 200 parts in a variety of sheet metal and machined components.

We have a full range of assembly capability which includes rivet squeezers, bearing staking & swaging, bushing installation, proof load testing, and a complete line of aircraft fastener installation.

We have the skills and systems in place to manage a supply chain for our customer’s requirements. We manage this at two levels; as vendors where sub-contract manufacturing, processing, raw material or hardware are supplied or as network partners where we contract for the complete end item. Outsourced product is received for quality inspection at our warehouse and then packaged for delivery to customer specifications.
