A state-of-the-art aerospace manufacturing facility was purpose designed and built from the ground up, enabling the rapid deployment of $45M in capital equipment into a vertically integrated, fully automated operation featuring four NADCAP-approved processes. Tribal knowledge was successfully captured, relocated, and industrialized from California to South Carolina. Within just 18 months, the facility procured, installed, and began operating the largest drop bottom furnace in the United States, the largest hard coat anodize line in the Southeast, as well as advanced robotic spin-form, grinding, and polishing systems. The site delivered, at rate, a new technology metallic structure on the highest selling commercial aircraft.
