Manufacturing
Products & Services

Aerodyn’s advanced manufacturing services provide high quality machining, fabrication, welding, and inspection services for all industries. We pride ourselves on being responsive and innovative, while maintaining the highest quality craftsmanship available.

Overview

We manufacture to both customer supplied drawings and drawings of our own design. By maintaining operations in-house, we control costs, quality, and schedule. The result is a reliable and timely delivery to meet our customers’ needs.

With our wide range of machining capabilities, we produce everything from the simplest of parts to extremely complex stationary and rotating engine hardware. We accept order quantities from one-off prototypes, to short-run and low-volume production.

Our in-house assembly capability allows us to provide our customers with a finished assembly that is ready for use upon delivery.
