Company Summary

A FAA mfrg Licensee offering 25-35% lower cost & 75% shorter delivery solution to high OEM prices in the $1B Aerospace Bearing & replacement parts market. At this time we sub-contract all production. Our objective is to increase our FAA Mfrg Licenses (FAA-PMAs). To accomplish this we need to expand our existing operation to include short run aircraft bearing mfrg and refurbishment. This capability does not readily exist; we have to build it.
