Integration

Four companies, connected.

The companies share part families, end markets and an integrated process chain, and are engaged through a single commercial front door. Work moves between sites under one quality system and one purchase order.

Capability spotlight

Integrated mill-turn to 16 feet.

Two WFL M120 Millturn centers turn, bore and mill shafts and housings to 16 feet in a single setup. Capacity of this class is scarce in the United States, and customers come to the platform specifically for it.

New programs

From new product introduction to rate production.

MSI Express, a dedicated 5-axis cell at Machine Specialties separated from the production schedule, takes new parts from drawing release to first article with engineering support at every step. On design freeze the program transfers to the production floor under the same quality system, with no requalification and no change of supplier.

About MSI Express
01

Dedicated NPI cell

A carved-out 5-axis cell with its own programmers, machinists and quality engineers, separated from the production schedule so development work never competes with rate.

02

Already qualified

AS9100D, NADCAP and ITAR certified, with an established record delivering flight hardware to commercial launch customers.

03

Full vertical integration

Machining, NADCAP plating, assembly and inspection performed in-house, with no external processing bottlenecks.

Our companies

Four companies. One quality system.

Four proven manufacturing leaders across six facilities, each built on a legacy of success and customer trust, with histories of 50 years or more. Though they developed along parallel paths, the companies share deep operational and cultural alignment. Each remains known for its own brand, specialization and customer approvals while operating as one integrated ASM platform.
